The many years established show breeder will be producing a fairly consistent type. If you look at their pedigrees you will see that the dogs and bitches in that pedigree are many of that kennel name rather than a mish mash of a lot of different kennel names.
An established breeder will also have an idea of waht health issues have arisen in their line and because they are using dogs of other established lines to compliment their breeding program, they also have a pretty good idea of what those other lines will carry or not.
As show breeders do all talk to each other, or at least the ones I deal with do, yes information is shared to each other about what they have seen, had trouble with , or not.
It really is a whole different scenario from someone who is just buying a dog here, a bitch there, breeding them with no clue of pedigrees, what is behind the pedigree. This type of scenario will usually mean that the dog and bitch they have bought came from a similar type of breeder. Or coming from someone making sort of attempts at showing maybe the odd champion, but certainly no established show breeder would show an interest in what they might have to sell.
Kind of like the blind leading the blind, no consistent type in the puppies produced, a real risk of issues and problems, often start looking so much less like yorkies as the generations continue of basically using pet quality to produce puppies with the breeder not really knowing the difference. |
