I noticed the lack of ch in the sires lineage. The dam has a decent pedigree and I know some of the lines as does Pat, I am sure. I would do as Pat suggested about shows etc. Maybe someone near you would mentor you and that would be more valuable than anything. Maybe the breeder you are buying fromwould agree..I personally do not like the ear set on hte puppy but that could just be his youg age. I would talk at great length to the breeder for any and all advice you can get. You cannot tell one breeder that another does not like something about the puppy. Politics are all over and a thick skin is a MUST. I would have as many people evaluate it as possible, but do not reveal the breeder's name at first. You could get into a bad position between two competitors..GOOD LUCK!!! |
