I blame the Judges. Look what the Judging did to GSD! They ruined the breed for many years, because the Judges started 'putting up' more and more and more slanted dogs, that breeders, to win, started breeding more and more and more RUINED bodied GSD. Then came the Roach Backed GSD that were awarded Championship! It's Tragic!
Airplane? Have you started breeding and showing? How is it going for you??? I would LOVE to see photos of your dogs. I ADORE the full coated Yorkies all groomed to the teeth!
Fortunately. The Judges have stopped that. I think there was a 'whole movement' about it.
But the same is true for every breed of every species. What the Judges 'put up', the breeders follow.
Shoooooooot! I am old enough to remember when people, not just the Conformational
Show Breeders, BRED BY THE STANDARD OF THE BREED. If a dog did not measure up, they were not used for breeding. AND OF COURSE, there were always those that did not. I am talking about people that loved the Breeds (of any animals) and wanted to keep it true. |
