i agree with a lot said here it gives us a legal outlet for our dogs and is fun for some people and it is good to have them but if you keep breeding just for show like all breeds of working dogs that have been breed for show dogs they will loose there working ability and not be game dogs but show dogs eventually but if you look at the akc working dog that are show dogs and have a blood line of show dogs that probably does not perform the working tasks as well or at all you can still find working dogs from the same breed of dog but from a working line that does.
