 Hey, Shelbysmom...
I understand what you are saying and I actually agree, however...
showing a dog under any kennel club organization doesn't guarantee that those dogs are "worthy" of producing. Those dogs need to be presented under different judges and DO WELL in the ring before it should be bred. There are PLENTY of people who actually spend the money to show and don't do well and I've seen dogs out there that are better from "back yard" breeders than those. Not to say back yard breeders should be encouraged by any means, but showing your dog isn't always enough. The judges need to agree that any particular dog conforms to standard.
ps You can have a genetically defunt dog (that isn't displaying any symptoms) that shows well and STILL shouldn't be bred.
Just my two cents!
