I agree with almost all of this...except the pedigrees. Out of all the dogs I have sold, only maybe 3 people know enough about pedigrees to know what they are even looking at. Pedigrees are vital to us as breeders, and show people of course....and some buyers may have had a puppy from a particular line that they want to stick with that "look" or "personality", but for the most part,they dont need to look at pedigrees. Correct me if I am thinking wrong...!
