Never understood this show. You have it broken down by classes, which include working breeds......yet almost none of those dogs could work.

AKC breeding standards have pushed working out of the working breeds. Everyone wants a handsome GSD, Rottie, Boxer, or Dobie, but no one wants a dog that will rip a mother fuckers leg off for breaking in your house Personally I want the show working breeds to hold working titles. The best breeding stock for Boxers should be SchH3 with no hip issue, and good ears for cropping. But try finding a Boxer that's got good drive for bite work now, its damn sad. They are there but you got to go to Europe to get one and you can get screwed then end up with a junk dog. If I hit the lottery I'm going to start a working Boxer kennel and give those mother fuckers out to PD's and Sheriffs Departments. I would put working Boxers back on the map. |

Dog "shows" held independently from working trials have been the death knell for the working and sporting breeds in the USA. Sadly, from what I hear the show circuit is killing the breeds in Europe too.

I went to a dog show recently and the Neapolitan Mastiffs were rolling over on their backs left and right. Beautiful, but not the line I want a dog from. The person I'm looking to get a pup from actively works their dogs in protection type pursuits. |

Dog shows are about having a gold standard for a breed. The show dogs are supposed to meet every aspect of what that breed is. A GSD should be able to herd and do protection work. A Boxer should be able to do protection work and be a catch dog. The hounds should be able to track. Sled dogs pull. Now its about looks, all show and no go. Its sad. |

I'm partial to big mutts myself, but Pekes are cool little critters, assuming you give 'em a haircut and don't treat them like prissy dolls. They'll roll around in dirt, eat snow, and stick their head out the window of a moving truck, just like any other breed.
They open up around people they're comfortable with. They're like live action cartoons, funny as hell. I've never been in the presence of another animal that was so entertaining. I can't really explain it. My Aunt had two, but one passed away last year. I miss the little bastard. |

To be an appropriate breeding prospect the dog should exhibit BOTH the proper conformation and the ability to do the work the breed was created for. This is where dog shows have failed miserably- the focus is on conformation only. Some breed clubs have working standards and there are all sorts of working titles a dog with he correct temperament can earn, but proof of working ability is totally irrelevant in an AKC type dog show. |

The various breeds all had a purpose when they were originally created. We Americans are awesome at a lot of things, but we totally suck when it comes to understanding dog breeds and preserving the various breed traits. It never ceases to amaze me when folks think a particular dog is 'bad' when it bites people, or chases things, or fights, or is constantly run-run-runing around, when the dog is supposed to do whatever it is that they are complaining about. |

best in show was a movie,
real people don't act like that... oh wait Update: Stewart's dog also probably had the most expensive pre-show meal. Below, he and Stewart dining at the Plaza on Sunday. Note the excellent table manners — and Martha's are okay, too. Even if Ghengis hadn't taken the prize, he would have been the fanciest dog at the show.  |
