Dog shows were originally intended to be used as an evaluation of breeding
stock. Today dog shows are much more, or less perhaps, but the evaluation
of the conformation of a dog (and winning) is still a big part of how a dog
is known, advertised and ultimately used - tell me a Select, Maturity
Victor, Best in Show or whatever doesn't up the ante ;-). The judge
evaluating conformation is not required to do anything more on that day,
but a number of respected judges who consistently offer up the wins on a
dog contribute to the dog's breeding future. I think most people base
their breeding plans on more than just a show record, but that show record
is pretty important to some.
