Right on Pat. And from what I have seen of my mobile dog grooming services, I can spot a pet of any purebred that came from a show breeder versus one that came from a nonshow breeder regardless of the reason the nonshow breeder is not involved in the dog show world.
The nonshow breeder knows nothing of their breed and what they produce is pretty poor representatives of the breed.
Breeding pet to pet stock only produces worse and worse representatives of the breed.
