[QUOTE="VanC, post: 739902, member: 3355"] Exactly. I'd say the vast majority of them wouldn't. Now, if you'll indulge me, I'll tell a little story. My wife shows Alaskan Malamutes. Sled dogs. She used to run them a lot, but not so much anymore. The first National Specialty I went to was in '94. I'll never forget the old boy who was the breed judge. Very non-political, which is rare in show circles. The dog that took BOB was an eight year old that came out of the veterans class. Big upset. The owners were big into sledding and that dog had logged hundreds of miles as a wheel dog and a lead dog. Anyway, the last night of the show there's a banquet. After everbody pigs out the breed judge gives a little speech about the breed and why he/she made the choices they did. It's usually very politically correct with the judge trying not to offend anyone. This old boy gets up there and says the reason he made the choice he did was because "if you hooked that dog up to a sled tonight, he'd still be running tomorrow morning." Went on to say that he saw very few dogs at that show that he could say the same thing about, and proceeded to scold everyone over the direction the breed was going. Caused quite a stir. I loved it.
