If you were a breeder judge and confronted with this dog in your ring (and
you knew about the situation of not being able to produce puppies), would
that hinder your choices at all.
I probably am not being political, but I would judge the dog against the
standard, and nothing else. While the purpose of breeding is to improve
the breed, we set a standard that says nothing about producing ability. The
purpose of dog shows, is not the same purpose as breeding litters.
It is us, the parent club that sets the standard. The GSDCA set the
standard. We judges have agreed to judge to the standard. That is all we can
do.
Another venue has to judge the producing ability of the dog. It is the
judge of public opinion or the judge of selecting the litters.
It seems to work well that way.
