Disclaimer: I am not saying, in any way, that a show dog isn't a great buy. I am sure that there are loads of people (myself included) that would love to have a dog with so many CHs in the bloodline, but I just figure that if you are not going to show, why pay the extra moola? |
thats pretty much what i was thinking. after i posted this question adn did a lil more research i realized i was getting "more" than i need, for lack of better words. im going to look around. i want to make a good informed decision and get a good healthy dog from a breeder .. i just dont need a show dog.
thank you everyone for your help, i really appreciate it.
