Champion to Champion, while it is a terrific goal...what is more important is to line breed..it's the only way to set type and produce Champions.....You can breed Champion to Champion and the genetics just don't mix properly and you get something that is not suitable for the ring. Even if you repeat breed, you can never reproduce the same litter again. A breeder is lucky if you get one show dog in every 6 litters. |
Well, in cases such as your are describing the breeder should have some darn good pictures to show, and nice little pedigree to frame. How would you have answered the OP's question?
