YES Dania, Good grief--our job, as a judge, is to put up the best dogs exhibited to us. What do we know about nor are we to care (I thought) what they produce. We do not have the luxury of seeing their pedigree--knowing what they have produced etc.--nor should we in the USA. We are judging that dog on that given day. Yes, maybe what we put up influences breeders but it is up to them to do the work up to see if this animal is correct for their animal. Please--judges are not totally responsible for how folks breed----it is NOT our job.
