How does a person know the dog is worthy unless it has been evaluated by a number of different knowledgeable people?
I'm perplexed by the number of breeders who don't like showing for one reason or another, or they don't hold it in high regard, yet they are proud of the champions in their breeding dogs' pedigrees.
