Yes, there are those that breed to the flavor of the month. However, if one is breeding correctly that is not how you establish a line. I will say that the breeders that know what they are doing will not do this and they as I do not allow their boys to be used for public studding.
Now, there are a few dogs out there that have put their stamp on many a wonderful line; Pastoral Johnnie handsome for one sired 60 Champions in the US alone.....however, he was only allowed to stud quality bitches owned by famous reputable breeders. Durrer's Tin Whistle is another......you find him in quite a few famous lines. Both of these boys did nothing to hurt the breed, but enhance it.
