Varying Focus
In the not-too-distant past I had occasion to discuss a certain pedigreed-dog breeding program with a very good friend of mine who has been involved with her breed for more years than she probably cares to remember.

The 7 Year Itch · Part 2
Why, regardless of the breed in question, do so many judges adopt the position of ‘first pick the type you like and then pick the best mover from among them?’ I do not hesitate to suggest that in many cases the reverse would be preferable if the best interest of the breed is at stake and it should so be. Why not pick your best movers first, if indeed the final test of conformation is in the movement of the dog, and then find the best types among them? The outcome can be very rewarding.

Articles espousing the merits of type occur intermittently but of late there seems to me to be more than the usual number. Whenever I have found these testimonials in my 40-plus years of active involvement in our sport, they are usually lopsidedly promulgated by persons who have great-headed and -coated dogs with little else to brag about. These persons can be very vociferous tending to think of a dog as ever so pretty but seemingly willing to ignore the fact that to be a good dog, pretty is not good enough. The dog should be beautiful and there is a vast difference between the two adjectives.

We need to start using judges that never or rarely get the opportunity to judge so that our judging base has merit. There need to be more judges/breed education seminars and maybe even parent breed clubs need to review and revise their standards to fit what is in the ring today.
