In my case - Cha-Cha was whelped at the time with only her dam being a champion (and Specialty winner). Her sire had been in shows and expertly evaluated and tested, before I made the match. Cha-Cha's sire is now a champion and even took Reserves at the NJ Specialty show against tough competition. So even though when I did the breeding - not both parents were champions, but I felt it was a great match and turned out some very nice pups. Actually I was very pleased. I will have Cha-cha in the ring to hopefully finish this new year. This is just one example. Again you have to ask each breeder their reason for making the match. |
Tina,
You're very correct......there are those that to prove stud, use them prior to putting them in the ring.....later on Championing them......
