All I can add is God bless hobby breeders! One earlier poster said something regarding "beautiful idiots" in the show ring.
We have had five schnauzers over the years; four came from hobby breeders, and one from a BYB. The four from the hobby breeder looked like a perfect example of the breed and also had the temperament of a schnauzer. The one who came from the BYB had many health issues, physically didn't have the look of a the breed, and also didn't have that robust personality one would expect. So for the hobby breeder it's more than breeding for looks but for a solid dog both mentally and physically.
Just my two cents anyway
Thanks for telling us about your dogs. One point I'd like to mention. At least, hobby, or more specifically, show breeders have a goal in mind when they breed male A to female B. Backyard, or puppymill breeders simply take 2 dogs of supposedly the same breed (registration is no guarantee that the dogs are the same breed) and breed to get the most puppies the female is capable of carrying. Backyard and commercial breeders purposely breed Toy dogs, which unsuspecting buyers purchase for their diminutive size, from females who are way too large to be within the AKC standards.
Show breeders, being competitive, sometimes get carried away, and they might sacrifice terrier character, for instance, for a noble head carriage. However, breeders of field trial dogs and sport (schutzhund) dogs emphasize hyper-activity that makes their animals impossible to live with, at least to the average pet owner.
There are simply not enough "show" breeders to have dragged all the hunting breeds, for example, down to where they have no birdiness left. In 2005, Labrador Retriever registrations were a mind-boggling 137,867. At a large upcoming East coast dog show circuit there are *79* Labradors entered. How on earth, can you blame "the ruination of a breed", on such a small segment of the total population???
