The Labradors actually have a Hunting Dog class at their specialty shows.

Barb, the example you gave about the difference in types between UKC and AKC
has
ore to do with a divergence in type between working dogs and conformation dogs.
n a lot of the sporting breeds, the field dogs almost look like a different
reed from their conformation counterparts. That's why it was suggested that we
ave a working dog class at our National, to emphasize that correct conformation
akes it a lot easier for the working dog to perform its task. The person making
hat suggestion got their head handed to them. @Sara - breeders have made
tructural changes in the GSD. If you look at dogs from the 1960's and today's
ogs you can see that. As far as I can tell, there has been no corresponding
hange to the standard, so I don't know how breeders justified the structural
hanges. I guess the same standard that applied to the earlier dogs applies now
o today's dogs. But I know the earlier dogs would not win in today's
onformation ring. Sara, if you are physically abl
e to show your own dog, learn as much as you can by watching the pro handlers.
he style of showing is different between the all breed and speciality rings.
how your dog and have fun.
