Re: Breeding program to bring back working characteristics to conformation Rotts.

You make a lot of sense. I believe that form follows function. If we breed for working qualities first regardless of exterior conformation for several generations we can start to get working qualities back then we can start to work on conformation. We might have to live with some dogs that might not be pretty, but the end justifies the means. The issue is, can you get enough reputable breeders to do this? Probably not.
