 I do know that reputable breeders can tell you about every dog within the pedigree.  Especially show breeders, they hand pick and breed their dogs because of desired traits to improve their lines.  And their pedigrees carry generations of Champions of some of the most notable established kennels

  Good to know. I know when we raised dalmatians my mom and dad could name the lines wayyy back when they people would ask. I would have never bought Zoey, had I known before hand about the lady. She was in it for the money, and had so many breeds and kennels, she had no idea what lines was what... I asked her and she said ummm... I dunno, and dug in her papers for 20 minutes before finding anything... Irritating. Then I seen the situation that my girl was living in, and had to save her life.
