If a breeder doesn't know what they are doing, breeding two champions won't even produce a good of an example of the breed, it takes more than champions to produce good examples, you also have to understand genetics and how to correct problems. Breeders who use lots of marketing terms are in the business of selling dogs. Good breeders could care less if you buy one their dogs, they aren't in the business of selling dogs.

I don't want to partake in saying anything negative toward kjcmsw, Nancy I really like what you said here (I bolded it). I think such a comment can go both ways for those who breed from champion lines or from non-champion lines (does anyone advertise "our pups genetics come from lines where every parent took second, seriously second isn't bad!)...I'm confused why people just looking for a pet would really concern themselves with champion lines, conversation I suppose (okay my Princess is from champion lines I wasn't seeking that, she's not "for show" she's just a descendant of petted out...I was more pleased both her parents had OFA certified heart, hips and knees honestly).
