There is an important technicality that everyone who decides to enter the sport of purebred dogs must embrace. I should capitalize the word “EMBRACE” because every little (or big) thing you’ll experience in the dog sport will have some relationship to this word. The word “Standard” is the elusive word. I will try to break down–at a basic level–the role the Standard plays through various levels of our participation. Understanding a Standard isn’t just reading the words. Many of the details of specific structural details have to be coupled with the many “non-tangible” elements of a Standard that typically highlight a breeds purpose and functionality. And as the well-known saying of Alva Rosenberg goes, “Any Mutt can be sound.” We have the Standards to keep breeds unique and predicable unto themselves.

Dog shows are nothing like they used to be. How often do you hear that? I am being sarcastic. That question invariably leads in to a long list of exactly how things have changed for the worse. It’s fair to say that similar critiques are frequently applied to just about everything in life–mainly because we conveniently forget about the really crummy stuff. Still, the subject really comes up a lot in reference to dog shows.

At a typical 10AM meeting one morning in August of 2006, I began to reconsider the way I look at our sport as a truly international affair. It’s not only the differences in the culture of dog shows around the globe that struck me. It’s the differences in the phenotype and genotype of the breeds that we think of as ours. And it’s the differences in the opinions of judges that comes with that international diversity.
