So basically I don't think things have changed quite so much over the
years. The dogs have. Over all they are better in my opinion. The
temperament has gotten better too. The entries to AKC shows are
abominable. Not
sure where our sport is heading but there isn't quite the panache there
used
to be when you advertised your puppies as "champion sired". Our pet
buyers want a sound tempered German Shepherd. One that is trainable and
not a
walking time bomb. They want a healthy dog that is not going to cost
them
an arm and a leg to maintain. Most people want a friendly dog that won't
embarrass them. By and large they couldn't care less if it is a champion
as
long as it looks nice and is sound in mind and body. That probably is
somewhat different than the 70's and 80's when champion implied "the
best".
Just some random thoughts. John V
