Show dogs are born. If a puppy does not have the temperment, personality, and conformation no amount of training will make a champion. A puppy can have all of those things and still not be fit for the show ring.. There is so much that just comes from years of experience and it is not something that you can put into words. Just look at the post by Julz that said which puppy she had decided to keep from a litter. They just speak to us. That is one of the ways a show breeder/handler singles out that special puppy to groom for the ring..
All of that, proper pedigree and body lines makes for a start..One fault-say, improper ear size and set, slightly off bite and so on will keep a puppy/dog from the show ring but distracts nary a bit from their quality as a pet. That could explain why your ch. sired puppy is not being shown. It is very expensive and the breeder has to be 110% sure the pup is gonna make it to the top..
