I do not believe that a breeder should charge more for breeding rights. Either the dog is worthy to be bred or not. And how would someone really know for sure at the age of 12 weeks old? A show prospect pup is usually older when purchased to see how they are developing and whether or not they have promise. Still no guarantees if they will finish or not. There is so many things that can effect how they show - from what is their competition to personality, quality, movement, training, the judge, etc...

Pet quality - can be one that has a fault/s (wrong bite, not show personality, etc..) to a breeder that sells a good quality dog to a pet home this is with Limited Registration. I sold a show prospect to a pet home only because I thought this was the best home for him. He is a beauty and probably could have finished. They are very lucky.
