>>Whenever this topic comes up on dog lists, some gung-ho exhibitor is
bound to say "But it's a dog *show* !" as though they equate it with
a fashion show. Maybe we should go back to calling them
"exhibitions", so we can remember that the original (and IMHO
*only*) purpose in showing is to pick future breeding stock, by
comparing them to the standard and -- even more important -- by
seeing their progeny (who don't inherit any of the grooming or
handling).<<
Carol,
I think you have it right and you stated it beautifully. From your lips to
God's ears!!
All the best,
Susan
