I'm glad you mentioned not wanting to show. A breeding female and/or show dog are one in the same. If a dog is not good enough to show/champion then it shouldn't be bred. The price will be about the same.
Did you check the breeder referral list on YTCA. Cookie is on there. Plenty in the Houston and Illinois area. I would stick with a breeder close to you, as they will be your mentor.
Familiarize yourself with the difference between Backyard Breeders and Reputable breeders, a lot of info on the web explaining the differences.
