You should never buy a puppy to show younger than five months at the very least. You should also expect to sign a co-own or show contract. Sometimes you can run across a puppy that DOES end up being show quality as it matures and not have a co-owner or show contract. that's how I got my little guy. I paid about what you are paying for breeding rights from championship lines.. Turns out, he is show quality and working on his champuionship. So, I lucked out. |
