YOU GET IT.........Healthy, happy, good representation of the breed.
OFA and CERF certified with CHIC #; Great. It is what is now required of dog before they can be counted in the top ranking dogs. We're on our way to having breeders be accountable for their breeding dogs.
And you're right, pet buyers aren't really interested in Champion Lines. What they are interested in is the time and devotion a breeder puts into breeding, healthy dogs and preserving the breed.
