What can be done when you see a breeder become kennel blind and their breeding program is going dowm?
This is especially frustrating when you have seen the breeder produce good dogs some years ago but not in at least 4 years.
Also frustrating when the breeder refuses to even think s/he has made mistakes in the dogs they have bred and the results they have gotten.

Sounds like a rhetorical question.

I guess you could try to talk to them. More than likely they wont listen. Only thing you really can do, is not buy their pups.

There are many kennels that have kennel blindness, everything they have is wonderful when it isn't, they even win with dogs that have serious faults, and they criticize other peoples stock without looking at there own. But first of all before you say any kennel has kennel blindness how do you know you haven't got it your self? The kennel that had good stock 4 years ago but hasn't got it now, it will be interested to know if there dogs came from the same female as sometimes you can get females that produce to anything.

If it is a friend, then it is hard to do, but not necessary. I would probably get them drunk, then tell them what I thought, and then never mention it again ! ! ! ! LOL

Kennel blindness is common in the dog world. Save your breath, they will never get it. Most I've known eventually get tired of losing with their dogs, so they either get into another breed, or another hobby. It's just human nature to think your dogs are the best. Telling someone their dog isn't up to par is like telling a mother her newborn looks like Frank Perdue.

Frank Perdue was a player in his day.

Everyone loves their dog - titled not titled flawed mediocre or great. put your hands out in front of you and "talk to the boys"! If he is selling alot of pups on his past record and making money - he is sucessful. When none of his pups do anything like the dogs from 4 years ago people in the showring will notice adn buy elsewhere. He will eventually figure it out or the dogs will die off and he will get new stock.
