American bred vs English bred. I rest my case. As for American bred being hyper, it is funny that they have excellent disposition when they are around infants. Hyper yet controlled.

I remember well that NH public show. They weren't really criticizing the AKC which is American, but they were criticizing the European Kennel Clubs, allowing them to interbreed within the same family.

A strong case is the German bred German Shepard, the rear hip is so deformed, the dogs have a severe case of athiritis before they become adults. The breeders defend themselves saying they 'weed' out the ones that are bad and 'eventually' the breed will be perfect. 'Eventually' means 50 years from now? I don't think it is fair for the dogs today!

Just like the Siamese cats. In the past the breeders breed only the cats that are crossed eyed. Because the crossed eyes lead to severe blindness in adult years, todays breeders are doing the opposite, Siamese cats now have more normal eyes.

I suppose it is what people judged as show quality through the years.
