For instance, I have mentioned in the past about knowing a breeder that uses a bitch with an overbite and she bred him with a stud that was much larger, roached back, thin hair, long legged male because she is trying to make some money off of these dogs. To the potential buyer, they see a cute little pup that doesn't show these qualities, qualities that will show themselves months down the road. Does this breeder know what she's doing. YES, she does. She just doesn't care.

Dawneo, if I'm off base, I apologize. Just voicing my interpretation of what you have laid before us.

Got ya...I'm a little slow today...preoccupied w/ other thoughts! I agree...you can't tell much from a puppy...they are all cute...that is why parent inspection/background is so important!
