Arthur Heinemann on Cup Hunting

Arthur Heinemann is quoted in Dan Russells book Jack Russell and His Terriers, published in 1979:

"We are very much opposed to the modern show terrier and his type. Once you begin to breed it for show type, you lose the working qualities upon which you pride those terriers. I have been, I might say, the protagonist of the terrier bred for sport as against the terrier bred for show. I have no interest in cup hunting."

Right. Arthur Heinemann had no interest in rosettes. Neither did John Russell. And yet look what has happened!
