Welcome to this exciting series on Canine Chronicle TV called NextGen with Michael Hill. In this episode Michael talks with Professional Handler Zack Helmer. The NextGen series – Michael interviews young people who are leading the way for the next generation of exhibitors, breeders and judges in the sport of purebred dogs. They talk about how they were introduced to the sport, their favorite breed, their success stories and more.
Some in our sport, when it comes to breeding and exhibiting dogs, tend to gravitate to the extreme. It seems as if they feel that more is always better. If a big winning dog has extreme characteristics or a certain ourtrageous style, then many will go out and try to emulate it. If a top winner is too big or too small, is groomed in a certain way, etc.–even if it is wrong for the breed–then the next step is to produce one with more of that trait. If a breed that moves the wrong way wins all over, then lets find more dogs of that breed that move the same way. There is nothing wrong with a dog that has extreme quality as long as those traits adhere to the standard. But having one or two exceptional parts while having numerous serious problems never should be rewarded. Our standards for conformation were written for a reason, so maybe it’s time we got back to basics. This month’s offering is a fable. It is fictitious but may serve as a cautionary tale for our sport, our breeding programs, and our livelihood. Read on.
