Yes...me too..I've been on this site (and you too, I believe) long enough to know the pertinent terminology breeders use when talking about their business. Healthy pups and guarantees are a given for ALL their pups........show quality pups (if a litter even produces one) is reserved for the breeder or someone in the show world they know well. Dogs that would be good for a breeding program (called a "breeder quality pup") is either kept by the breeder or sold to another breeder. Again, not available for "the vast majority of people" as she put it.
