There has, in recent times, been concern expressed about the direction which the sport of pedigreed dogs is currently taking, with a seemingly shifting emphasis and focus occurring away from the pursuit of meaningful breeding practices. A rather oddly rhetorical, and in some ways slightly nonsensical, question has been asked as to the relative and respective importance of judging versus breeding. As if the two could be divorced from one another, as if there was no connection between them. Don’t the two belong together; are they not intricately intertwined? You cannot, after all, have the one without the other and the breeding part surely has to come first. This is the anchor, which keeps the ship from drifting and ultimately ending up on the rocks. There are, of course, various layers and levels to this but the evaluation of stock going forward cannot meaningfully occur in the absence of purposeful and successful breeding. If the latter falters the whole sport will inevitably come apart, for its very essence, the development, perfection and preservation of breeds, is betrayed. Our dogs will seriously suffer as a consequence.
