BTW...I am a low volume breeder and only breed for my own show dog because I have to work to make a living and couldn't give my full undivided attention if I had litters all the time. It's not "my" goal to become top breeder but to breed for my own show dogs that are healthy, the best representation of the breed as I can ( knowing that there is "no" perfect dog ) but strive for the best I can. I select what will fit best together and breed as close to the standard as I can and improve on what needs to be improved with "health" being of the most important above all else. I've always stated, I prefer the show ring vs. the whelping box
