This reminds me of a few of the border collie performance people...let's
not go down that road thinking the butt ugly gene is somehow linked to a
working gene. It isn't.
If somebody likes dogs w/ straight fronts, no rear etc. etc., hey, not my
cup of tea but more power to them. Enjoy the heck out of the dogs. I
celebrate that they are out working their dog and forming a wonderful bond. But
please don't make the argument dogs bred to the standard who happen to be
pretty can't work or even go so far as to say that square dogs hold up
better. That's just silly.
************+********************************
All the more reason to have a working dog class at the National for dogs with
advanced performance titles. It is important that working dogs have correct
conformation, otherwise they don't physically hold up under training. It is
discouraging to have to retire your dog because of breakdown caused by poor
conformation.
