Let me explain a bit here. And I can only explain from my experiences. I breed 1 or 2 litters a year for myself in search for my next Champion to add to my breeding program. Now in doing this I'm breeding in hopes to breed the 1 dog that has that special "It" factor. That doesn't mean that the rest of the puppies aren't up to standard but they don't have that special look at me "I'm It" quality and "I dare you not to put me up".....that quality is very necessary and part of the standard. The sad thing about this is that I can't keep all the puppies, so those 3 or 4 puppies a year are placed in preapproved pet homes on a spay/nueter contract. Why? because I would have too many of the same pedigree and would be inbreeding.
