Default Dogs with certificate

Hi,
only shortly because I dont will be "neverending" ).

OK. But first of all who said that the dogs with 40 km run are working dogs?
If your dog is in working class in show isnt working dog ?

OK Pavel. But look at the THEORETICAL scenario: we have a nice working dog with ZVV3 but is total parody of the breed standard in respect to exterieur. Should such dog be a show champion because of his working abilities? I don't think so because it's against the rule of being a "Beauty" champion. And if you require from Show Champion that he should be beautiful and have working title then it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
And its a principial question. Its possible two ways. First is, that we
want to have much champions as possible and then we make a very weak
rules. Or we will have only the absolutely best of the best for champion
and then we make rules according this philosophy. Eva wrote about the
quality and quantity. And this is exact the case, where is important the
really quality. Champion must be the best of the bests, not only nice,
but the wolfdog with all best (exteriör, character, working gens etc.).
Most people will always push to make a weak rules for champion, because
want to reach it with many own dogs, but I think, that this is
absolutely devalvation of this title (similary like is just absolutely
degraded valuation "excellent" on shows).

OK. But that's what bonitations are for. On the bonitation very shy or
agressive dogs should be excluded from breeding. The shows in Czech
Republic are not required for receiving breeding permission (like in our
country or in Germany) and should be considered as beauty contests.
No, not agree. Show is show and its doesnt matter, if is coupled with
breeding rules or not. According the FCI rules must be every show same.
For working races must be the best dogs universal and not only beautiful.
