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.

Watch Here!

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
