Why ? I agree some show dogs couldn't do the job they were bred to do, but others do their job extremely well and surely if a "show" dog was expected to win at a trial before it could be bred from, then the reverse would be true as well, a trial dog must win at a show before it was bred from, like Crufts, they have a game keepers class ( Labradors ) to be honest I think some people who breed strictly working dogs with no regard to breed type do that breed a disservice, form and function , not only do I want a dog to work but I also want the dog to look like the breed it is meant to be.
