Every single dog I have ever owned except for one, came from well known champion bloodlines some with almost their whole pedigree in red for champions. AKC and International. Not a one of them lived up to what I thought I was paying for when I paid for "big name" dogs. I have learned a lot in recent years about paying big money for big names. Champions probably do give you a better chance but it is certainly no guarantee that you get a nice, healthy, pretty dog that will show for you. Also I show in UKC as well as having shown "a little" in AKC. In UKC, we need 100 point and three competion wins to earn a champion title. I have a fabulous little well bred male that has the whole package but would not hold his tail up for anything. So I can't lay that off on his bloodlines. he has some of the best and no they are not at the back of his pedigree. LOL Just me not really knowing how to bring him out of it. |
