The question I would ask is did this breeder selling these dogs that are champion sired put the championships on them themselves? Have they put the work in to show them?
I see many breeders selling puppies, champion sired or champion lined, but not their champions on their kennel name rather off the work of someone else that they got a hold of the lines indirectly because a reputable show breeder trusted someone they now regret trusting.
If this actually is a show breeder that has done this who shows the dogs themselves and the champions are their own kennel name, that is pretty disheartening and you can bet not many other show breeders are going to be willing to trust that breeder with their lines when they are looking for some new blood to bring into their lines.
