I'm sorry Evan---have to disagree with you here. There are MANY obedience
kennels that breed, both on the German side and on the American side. I
breed to the standard,but I do not breed for the conformation ring, but for
obedience, herding, rally, tracking, therapy dogs, service dogs, etc. 2
of my dogs earned their PAM this year, another has also almost achieved her
PAM, would expect it in early 2012. Some of these dogs have been shown in
the conformation ring but just for the experience, not to campaign them.
People come to me for dogs to work, not to show in conformation.
Of course there are dedicated breeders breeding for other venues. But the
conformation kennels, of which there are many, supply dogs to all venues. I
see few dogs coming for the obedience, herding, rally, tracking, therapy
dogs, service dogs, etc, selling pups that end up in the conformation ring.
That is the way it always has been. People don't come to those breeders
for show conformation dogs, but they sure come to use for working dogs.
I always wondered why we always had the high scoring dog brought to the
conformation ring to be shown after they finish, but never do they ask the BOB
to be shown to the working ring? Maybe we should do that.
