Terry - I don't think you are nuts and I like your idea but, a
moratorium on the show ring won't
do it - there is many a person out in that ring that has no intention of
breeding. To the best of my 
knowledge, there are top winning show dogs that were never bred.

In some countries, they have to have their kennel club approval for
breeding - this could eliminate allot right there, Unfortunately, the
power of money will still rule. Maybe they should look at people's
finical 
records when they do inspections of records as well because I still work
with the philosophy that I was taught by a now deceased long time
breeder - "if you make money breeding and showing, your doing something
wrong"
