Yes some people will buy a dog that is not up to the standards, but the object of breeding is to breed the best of the breed. There's so much involved in breeding I could write a book. Speaking of which you can read the standards for your dog under either UKC or AKC, and arm yourself with loads of books on the subject. It will help you make a very informed decision. The pounds are so full of unwanted dogs, that I'm sure you don't want to add to that population.

Very nicely said.
