My repeatedly (and ignored) suggestion is that all breeding dogs should earn a champion, field, obedience, or
agility title before they are bred regardless of how clean the genes are!
Before his retirement my smooth collie, Andrei, placed 4th in his class at the AAC BC / Yukon Regional Championships 2 years in a row and 4th in his class at the AAC National Championships, achieved his
agility championship, his CARO (RallyO) Versatility MCL, his CKC Novice Rally
title, his CKC CD and worked as a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog.
