Blanket statement. First off, many hobby breeders do not show in conformation, they are performance people and I think they would take great umbrance at what you just said.

No they wouldn't. It was said in response to a statement by an AKC judge that only a small percentage of registered dogs are bred from show dogs, as if the rest were some lesser quality.

My statement is that AKC show people are not always the best impact on the breed. Your performance people would agree with me.

Performance people ARE show people. If you meant conformation people you should have said that. I don't know who the judge was talking about, however.
