I'm curious about this as well, only from the standpoint that my little Lacey was very expensive and has a champion sire but was not considered champion material. She's a beauty certainly worth the money because she has a lot of qualities I wanted, she's got a great face, flat backbone, short legs and I did not want a show dog, just a tiny yorkie. The breeder was completely honest with me but I still wonder how they know at the puppy stage which ones have potential and which ones do not. |
