Since this thread is about breeders...breeding. I might add. My wife use to always want a Papillon. I could never find them in the paper ect.... When I went to the dog show. They had the most showing. 25_+ of them. Yorkies are in the top 10 favorite breed always and only had 8 showing. Almost every show. = average #. I was interested in the Border terrier. I first saw them at the Show. I said I never knew about these breeds. They said thats how we like it. The don't want puppy mills. I've only been going to the show for ~1yr. I support these ppl because they care about the breeds imo. Sure there's gonna be bad ones but in the little shows they Love there Dogs. The big one well maybe business but never like a puppy mill. Show Dog need good temperament. You will never get that out of a dog that isn't socialized and has human contact all the time. Main thing they breed for is Standard and Temperament. Finding pups that didn't wiggle in my hand was only from Show breeders. Thats what you want. I use to think boy these Labs look funny. Boxy short compared Other dog breeds at the show I thought they don't look right. Compared all the ones I see. Then after a few more shows ...Wait thats how they are suppose to look. damn what a difference JMO/JME |
