Britster I just went back and read all the postings after the last time I posted here. You are a very thoughtful person. I agree with your ideas about breeding for looks and not excellent health. So many of our pure breed dogs have been 'over bred' for extreme features. Health should be the priority.
I work to change the AKC standards to allow dogs with natural tails and ears to compete in show.
I am praying and hope, the younger generation will be able to change how we judge pure bred dogs in shows. IMO, Health First, Second priority Ability, Can they do what they were created for. Third Breed Beauty. Wouldn't that be amazing ?
