Most show dog people would like you believe they should be the only people breeding. I have spent quite a bit of time in the Doberman and Boxer show enviroments. Have owned some of the top champion lines. Bred for over 15 years and have placed over 60 puppies to new responsible owners. Ok first a given, we all who know anything, realize your not in business to make money. Any breeder who meets any standard of responsibity will spend much money and many many hours of caring for ***** and pups. Show dogs measure their looks and confirmation. I agree confirmation is important but even that said many people may differ on what think is a good attribute. Judges know little of a particular dogs Intellegence, personality and health back grounds. I have brought this point to several breeders of confirmation champion breeders and all agreed but said it was with other peoples lines. This to me results more in a pretty dog but not necissarily a better dog.
