Hi Kendra. I know what you are trying to say. Of course a ch. title does not change the genes of a dog but it does do is show that dog to other exhibitors. Finishing him gives him the stamp of approval from AKC judges that he is breed worthy. These judges are experts. If a breeder wants to go forward and have the possibility of tapping into the genes they might lust after, they have a lot better chance of that happening if prove their dogs in the ring. Just my observations.
