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.
The picture painted of the American Kennel Club in a blog published by HSUS yesterday was filled with so many inaccuracies, we’ve decided to try to fix the inaccuracies section by section, rather than write a full rebuttal. –AKC.
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.
