As long as you are starting with a good foundation.....you will produce that show dog.....Remember a breeder/exhibitor is lucky if they get 1 show dog out of every 3 litters.....I wish that we could have them lined up on a shelf, pour a bit of water on them and whala we have a best in specialty dog.
