Most of the dogs you saw were probably bred with the specialty show ring being their major goal in life. Rather than realize conformation is not an end itself but rather should SERVE the FUNCTION of the dog in real life working and athletic endeavors, these dogs are bred as if the conformation ring is an end in itself. Very strange to me and seems an aborted breeding goal. The dogs tend to either be star circle runners or pets.

Pat, I just got sent the agility pics from Nationals where Nova finished her JWW/VCD1. I flipped through all of them, the agility dogs were either west german, east german, or non-descript pet line type dogs. Not an American confo style dog to be seen. Big surprise!
Perhaps we'll go next year, my daughter can make a run with her dog for Obedience Victrix. ;)
