I agree with you that having Champions in a pedigree does not mean that you're going to have a great dog/bitch, nor does an AKC dog make it a good representation of the breed standard. ......that is unless you have obtained them from a breeder that has a long standing reputation in producing the best and stand behind their breeding.
To succeed in your goal, IMO, I suggest that you find a breeder that is producing what you like and gain their trust.
