I completely agree with what you said. Of course we MUST love our babies however, if I would have an option to choose between a well-bred animal and one that was not selected to be closer to the standard of the breed I would go for the well-bred one. I strongly suggest to choose a puppy from a champion bloodline (someone that is working very hard to produce animals closer to the standard of the breed) but again, this in only my point of view!

I think color and coat are always important, whether your prized pet, or your BISS winning show dog. Even a pet owner wants a dog that looks like it is supposed to. I'll give you an example, my cocker is a PET..always has been, spayed at 8 months old, never bred, HOWEVER her father is a world Champion, and her mother is also a Champion. She has a beautiful pedigree, and is a GORGEOUS dog. When people see her, they don't realize She IS a cocker because she is correct and they are used to seeing BYB Crap! Point being, even though I was buying a pet, I still wanted a GORGEOUS pet. |
