I believe they are putting the blue ribbons and the
perceived prestige before anything else, including
health of the dogs and ethics. There is a new term
floating around - we've all heard of puppy mills, now
you hear about "show mills": large kennels devoted
soley to producing puppies out of show winners (just
a very small step above the puppy mills, IMO).
