Dog shows (conformation events) are intended to evaluate breeding stock. The
size of these events ranges from large all-breed shows, with over 3,000 dogs
entered, to small local specialty club shows, featuring a specific breed. The
dog's conformation (overall appearance and structure), an indication of the
dog's ability to produce quality puppies, is judged.
*** If owners, breeders and fanciers decide not to show the good dogs,
the judge does not have good representation of the breed to chose. The
judge can only then chose the dog they feel to be the best there. However,
they are not, since the best didn't show up.***
The American Kennel Club was established in 1884 to promote the study,
breeding, exhibiting and advancement of purebred dogs. It is the largest
not-for-profit purebred dog registry in the nation.
***It might be "the largest non-for-profit purebred dog in the nation" but that
does not make them the best. Why do they not demand all dogs to be DNA'd for
parentage? Not register from puppy mills, etc.? Not saying there are not very
good dogs registered with them but not all the good go to Dog Shows. How many
are not of the breed stated? ***
Just saying. Of course we as judges need to evaluate any dog on any give day. I
recently put up an amimal that I knew not to be sound but they were fine at
that time.
*** Depends on why they are unsound, if they could pass it on or not. If it is
an inherited
unsoundness they should never place. ***
