Sorry but non-show breeders do the same things...and many breed out of standard on size, breed LP and other issues etc. I also know many that never do any testing of their dogs and they have buried Liver Shunt just as much. All I have to do is look at a breeders contract to know if they really care about their dogs and their ethics...their contract's will state that they will always take the dog back ... no matter what.
It is all about the ethics of the breeders and if they are trying to produce the very best no matter what the cost is. I happen to believe that you will never know if you are producing the best unless you go into the showring. You can never understand the structure or the movement of a dog from pictures and it is always helpful to have other eyes look your dogs over. This is my opinion.
