Wild is 110% spot on. The AKC has ruined more field dogs than they will ever create. Thank GOD the pointing dog world has American Field...... I’m hoping Brittany’s will completely split from the AKC after the last debacle I’ve had with them. The AKC is a joke for those of us in the pointing dog world, who actually want dogs to point and run vs look good in a show ring based on a “standard”.
Just a minor correction, your breed club ruined your dogs and you breeders did nothing about it. AKC has never written a breed standard or promoted a style. It is your own breed club. If you know and research how the AKC works, you find they are a registry and the individual breed clubs handle the rest.
March on....
Kinda splitting hairs here don't you think?
We all know what he meant was breeding Dogs for show is what is ruining some of the working dogs.
No. AKC is registry. The breed clubs make the rules. Not the AKC. You dont like a style of a breed, it's your club you take up issue with about the standard. AKC has no will with the standard.
