Yes, new people do have to start somewhere but it should be - by doing it the right way - not by capitalizing on someone else's hard work. Not because you have the money to buy it.
Doing it the right way is finding a breeder who you like and respect. Work with/for them. Learn as much as you can and then perhaps they'll work with you on a "show prospect" - but I'm sure most will not just hand you a Championed dog!
Yes, this is my opinion, and I'm not always right but I do believe that there are some unwritten rules that we all must honor.

That is your opinion about "paying your dues". However, if you use a champion stud have YOU paid your dues? Nope. You did not produce or champion him. You have capitalized on someone elses hard work.
Some championed dogs have nothing but a champion sire, then look down to the 4th generation for the next champion.
You very much can purchase a championed dog. Do some homework and you will see that. Check puppyfind and see what pops up. They are out there if you have the checkbook.
I too believe in unwritten and written rules. One is to be kind to your neighbor. I have not seen that here much. Except from the OP who was quite nice to the new owner. I also hope that Marshall Dillon is in a good home that loves him finally. Not just for "show" or as a commodity. I hope he is living like the little prince that he should have been all along.
