So from my point of view... you have to prove your dog is working dog... no matter breed.

The first step is to WORK your dog!
Is the working dog class in addition to conformation classes, or is it THE conformation class? If it is THE conformation class, I LOVE this. It makes such sense to me to have the primary criteria be a dog that works - who is then judged for conformation (prior to breeding) - than the other way around. It would certainly liven up the conformation classes, wouldn't it?
