History of Breeding Dogs and other important Info:  

The Practice of breeding dogs was introduced almost when dogs were introduced.  Some dogs like the larger game (hounds) were breed for different types of work.  Some jobs were hunting vermin, driving, flushing out game, and guarding.  Breeding for appearance didn’t start till the19th century.  Then eventually they were separated in two categories, the Purebred dogs and the random category.

Dog Shows: Our man’s passion and pride!  They started in the 19^th century.  The dogs were unidentified except for their kennel names.  Organization was required.  Descriptions and breeds of the dog was/is needed!

Breeding Standards is the ideal dog.  It’s an attempt to describe” perfection” There’s standards are high and breeder’s use models to make better dogs!  They make dogs to impress judges.  The objective of the –AKC- is to advance the study, breeding, shows, running, etc.
