It is difficult to win an argument with an intelligent person! It is near impossible with a stupid person!

And every Trial dog must be placed in a show before it is bred from,
that would kill off the working dogs and lines.
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.
pass the pop corn...the two will never meet.
Relax, I'd be surprised if gundog trials survive another decade or two so it doesn't really matter
You've got a bit backwards there mate. The "look" of the dog was obtained by breeding for purpose. The standards are applied later and is when the breed begins to deteriorate. If bred for purpose, it will look like a dog bred for that purpose. You do not need a standard to maintain type, good breeding for purpose will always prioritize that!

A format where hunters can still have fun with their dogs, like it used to be, would still work. We just have to get away from the current influences.
