Some breeders like obedience, some like field trialing, my
passion is conformation (dog shows). While I don’t show a lot for various
reasons, it doesn’t mean I don’t know what a structurally good dog looks like
and what good movement is. I love to attend dog shows and sit ring side to
study movement and structure. If you don’t know what you are looking at
or for, how can you improve your lines and the breed as a whole. Of
course temperament is number one but you should also be looking for good
structure & movement also.
