That being said, I'm grateful that, even with the most careful and responsible breeding, that not all dogs are show quality. I wouldn't have my dear girl. |
And one must remember there is no perfect dog. Even the ones in the ring. So, it's very dependent on what faults an exhibitor will accept, continue breeding to improve them. There is a rule of thumb; if you see 3 faults in a dog, don't show it (so, that means don't breed it) as the judge has a keen eye and most likely will find more.
