Not only was your story insightful but very intertaining. I have to admit that I once too thought that buying a dog with champion lines would give me a champion but I quickly learned that wasn't the case when I recieved my males paperwork. Most of his lineage is bl/gld with a few blk/gld thrown in (2 on mother, and 2 on father) and he came out looking just like his daddy(blk/gld). Check out my pics! I am hoping that he will throw a good bl/gld puppy with a silky coat, as my dams bl/gld coat is cottony. I wasn't plannning on showing either one of my two I have now, but I was hoping to see what quality of pup they will produce (maybe a show potential), that I may find a show potential male to breed to.
I dont worry too much about a dog being registered blk/gld as alot of breeders mark that color because the puppies are that color at first. My champion is registered as blk/gld and he is blue/tan. I did know a well known breeder back in the 80's who had a blk/gld dog(not a champ, but champ sired) who produced 6 champions and they were all blu/tan. I dont know how many blk/gld he produced though. So dont give up!!
I wish that the newbie breeders would read my story and think twice about breeding. They need to really think what they are doing. If they only knew what I have learned over the years. I wish I could have had the opportunity for education and experience before I started. I wouldnt have gone through soooooo much heart-ache. Its too bad that way back then the exhibitor breeders were rude, stand-offish and selfish. Or thats how I percieved them at that time. Remember that at that time I was in my 20's and I could have been a little more sensitive than I am now. But they didnt seem to welcome newbies at all. I always felt I was on the outside looking in.
