Re: leondoodles
Just because you don't have the full picture is no reason to ignore the information you do have.
Which you didn't.
My last post was just saying what I would think about before saying yes or no, and that whoever slated you had no right without all the facts themselves.
And my view is that all dogs should be health tested before being shown yes - and if you get a bad result then show in companion shows at the likes of dog trust events. Even if not everyone who shows breeds, A LOT do. Obviously puppy classes would be an exception, but they can't be made up as a pup.
I also think all working breeds should be worked/proven in a working environment before entering the conformation ring. You can't be classed as a good example of the breed if you can't do what it was originally bred for.
There is one GSD group in Scotland that requires health tests and working qualifications to join/enter the show. It's excellent. In Germany dogs have to be health tested and SchH qualified. There is a bitework part of shows.
