My opinion Go with the pedigree Hi. I know I am new here.... but have spent many years around horse breeders and dog breeders & am just getting into things for myself. I have seen many wonderful champions come from a average looking mother with excellent lines. And have owned a gorgeous male persian cat that couldn't show b/c when he was a kitten his coat was damaged and never came back in properly. Several national level breeders stated he could easily champion - but he couldn't reproduce himself. So my opinion, humble as it may be, is the pedigree stands over a excellent single example of any breed.
