There is certainly a place for shooting long bursts when you're trying to capture things like flying birds - one of the great joys of digital - I'm not proud I know I'd get about one a month with film! I have also been involved with the world of show dogs for a very long time [not much now] and have to tell you the obsession with one breed is not unusual. There are those who will visit the cinema to watch a film for a few seconds in the opening sequence where their favourite breed is seen - and sleep through the rest of it! I find a burst of 3 or 4 shots is usually enough to capture the fleeting expression of a dog though - can't imagine taking 1000 per canine!!
