I think you don't understand, it is not to get a champion title behind the name, the champion title just means that that dog has had approval of others to breed. This may or may not even be legitimate approval, but that's another point. If breeders do not breed Yorkies, who are a good example, the Yorkshire terrier will not look anything like it does right now, it's taken many years to produce these dogs. I think it's very hard to develop an eye if you don't show, and you must remember a good breeders goal is also to
preserve and
improve the breed.
