Not all show dogs are bad. There are some that are pampered almost too much for their own good (but everyone pampers their pooches too much, right?) but they aren't stupid. My friend has a dog that came from a line of champion collies, but decided not to show him. He is an extremely smart dog and isn't lazy or anything. What I don't like are show dog breeders that get caught up in making sure their dogs look the best, not caring about temperment, etc. (I have seen some breeders like that)
