I hope you don't mind me expanding on your statement.....look for the right pedigree. There are so many breeders that are pedigree hunters....go via the backdoor to obtain their dogs. In other words they don't go to the kennel owner of the dogs that are on the pedigree, since they know that breeder would never trust them. However, somewhere in the past they trusted someone else with their line, that someone proved to be unworthy and is breeding willy nilly and capitilizing on the pedigree. Again, do your research...
