My hot take on how structure should be judged: the dogs should be utterly drenched in water, so soaked your looking at a drowned rat in a flat collar so there is absolutely nothing left to the imagination about what angles are hidden under all that floof. Coat can be judged the next day; also all the towel companies can Jokey to see which brand of towel has the best performance of water absorbed from fluffy dog coats: fastest dried dog wins.
I agree haha! I think we need to change a lot about the way we go about conformation evaluations to make it truly what it is supposed to be, a structural and quality evaluation.
#faq#dog shows#dog structure#i have a lot of thoughts about this#but i'd much prefer a culture#where people aren't discouraged from showing#because their dog isn't CH quality#CH has become imo another box that show breeders tick to be responsible#but not every dog is worthy#but every dog is worthy of a graded and detailed#evaluation for structure#or against their standard imo#let's make confo truly about evaluating breeding stock#and less about getting that CH or getting that ribbon#quick-step#also i think the towel companies would be out of the game my dude#high velocity dryers are already the preferred dryer of choice for coated breeds
