Remember I don't show and am the first to admit my ignorance in this area so bear with my questions please...
and it might very well be this is a breeder type question (I'm trying to learn more).
When a dog's pedigree says CH (champion) - that is supposed good, correct - insomuch as to win a champion title the dog should have been "to standard"? However, are there various levels of "champion" some worthy of mention, some just may have been a 'champion' of a local dog show? Now I'm not saying the latter isn't good, as I don't know. The winners must be to standard, correct? And the more "to standard" dogs in the dog's line the greater chance of the pup being "to standard"?
So if a pup's pedigree has 41 champions in it (5 generations) including a world champion would that pup have a greater likely of being a quality dog insomuch as being to "standard"? Yes, I know champion doesn't necessarily equate to good health and a bad dog can pop up, I'm just wondering if a pedigree of such would be a good indicator that the dog should be to standard of its breed and someone would more likely than not be getting a quality pup.
Thanks for your patience in clearing this up for me as well as forgiving my ignorance.
