Ear size varies, I see some champions with larger ears and some with smaller ears, ear set and ear carriage are very important.
Show breeder sells with a written show contract because they have worked years developing their show line and they want their best dogs in the show ring and not in someone's backyard just being used for breeding. Creating a top winning show dog is like creating a work of art. The creator is proud of their work and they want the world to see it. |
I didn't know that most top show lines were line bred. I understand they are proud and want the world to see it but what if the dog does not have the personality for show? It might be more stressful for some dogs than others. What type of personality is best for show?
