Burns, Patrick. “Rosettes to Ruin: Making & Breaking Dogs in the Show Ring.” TerrierMan.com Working Terriers. 6 Nov. 2007. http://www.terrierman.com/rosettestoruin.htm
The author of this blog, Patrick Burns, says little about himself, but generally cites is sources when making claims. He has also written a book, American Working Terriers. This blog has many interesting articles related to dogs, but the article I specifically linked to has a lot of interesting research discussing how breeders that have breed animals specifically for dog shows have turned dogs from healthy workers into unhealthy fashion models. It cites its sources and has many pictures showing the evolution of a certain pedigree’s skull over time. This contains good information for arguing against breeding for dog shows.
