No so with my little friend here, who knows what he is about

The AKC puts on a great assortment of events, most of which I consider sport, but as for me the conformation ring represents more politics than sport. The pup above has zero chance of attaining BIS at Westminster, even if he conforms 100% to his breed standard. Despite being the most represented breed in AKC registrations, his kind has never won there, and it's a safe bet never will. Why? Because the judging is so subjective.
