What Lorraine said!! Also, how many champions has the champion sire produced? Are there champions up close(within the 2nd generation) on both sides of the pedigree. Is the puppy line bred or an outcross? Remember you cant breed a pedigree only. Even if every single dog on the pedigree were a champion it can not guarantee that any offspring will be show quality. Is the breeder of the puppy a "died in the wool" exhibitor that has produces many champions? Just things to think about. Best of luck.
