AKC conformation judge, Lonnie Carrol of Bear Hug Griffons, joins us to cover everything in the show dog world. Very often we hear the phrase "function over form" and Lonnie explains why it shouldn't be an either/or situation and we should be striving for both form AND function. ~What are conformation shows? ~The different classes and what it takes to earn championships ~Compete in 'classes' then move into the 'groups' before entering the 'best in show' ~Dogs are judged against a breed standard. Then the dogs compete as to who best meets the standard. ~The dog's 'structure' determines how they move more than external factors ~Where do the breed standards come from? ~The requirements of becoming a judge and keeping up with all of the breed standards ~The 12,5,4 Rule (12 years, 5 litters bred, and 4 champions out of those litters) ~Balancing the looks with the purpose of the breed ~Sometimes a breed is so pretty its detrimental ~If there is a way to put a title on a dog then people will do it ~The dog behavior needed in the show ring ~The politics of the show ring environment - Presented By: Standing Stone Supply ~ https://2ly.link/1vThi | Use Code 'GDIY' to save 15% onX Hunt Maps ~ https://2ly.link/1vThs | Use Code 'GDIY20' to save 20% UplandGun Company ~ https://2ly.link/1vTiJ Marsh Wear Clothing ~ https://2ly.link/1yJ7n | Use Code 'GDIY15' to save 15% (Patreon Patrons save even more!)
