Gemy, I like your start. I've wondered why breed specific health testing wasn't required for conformation. I mean, dogs are being championed to prove they are breed worthy. How can that be without requiring health testing? This omission makes it appear that conformation is basically a beauty pageant. I know some breeders do go the full measure in testing their dogs, but without it being required, it really defeats the main purpose of showing.
Now, how do you get Andrew Hunte out of bed with the AKC?
Honestly, AKC has created more problems for itself beyond show requirements. |
