Indeed they are based on conformation only, I agree. The problem I have is, when the specific distinctive working traits of a given WORKING breed are ignored, totally or partially, in favor of "beauty looks" or mainly conformmation. Some breeders breed just for the "show"

The AKC provides other activities for the Rottweiler to demonstrate his working ability. Tracking, Obedience, Herding and Agility gives the Rottweiler the opportunity prove its working drives.
The main interest is the conformation show not because of some AKC agenda, but because that is the main interest of the dog owners across the country.
