That is sad. That is where I think that police are not doing their job and the breed as a whole is failing for it. Not as big of a scale as puppy mills and BYB do to the breed but think about it. If that dog that was undeserving produces 100 pups in his lifetime all championed sired and those offspring go on the carry one his faults in the hands of exhibitors....the consequences of one judge doing this is huge...now have one in each state and see how that snowballs.
That was why I chose to bow out of the show scene and even stopped going to watch the shows. It disgusted me. But I was wrong too, because I did nothing. That is what my intentions were when I added this to the thread.
Does the YTCA have that on their agenda? are they looking into this seriously?
I think ALL mother clubs should be pushing the AKC to improve and shape up their judges. I cannot effect change on that level but I know that if enough YTCA members pushed that it could end up on the agenda...and if all clubs banded together to represent not only that but a ban on puppy mills...think of how much better the breeds would be
