Does that mean just because a dog has a good show career or descendents who have done well they should automatically be bred? What ever happened to breeding for temperament and health? I'm sorry but I would NEVER support a breeder who breeds just for show. They would have to prove to me that the parents are genetically sound as well as mentally sound in order to convince me to purchase a puppy. It's not only about looks. This is why so many breeders continue to chop their dogs tails off and cut their ears back so short it looks like they have none!

She has stated her dog has good lines, hence the two brothers being shown etc. She chooses not to show because it just isn't her thing. Breeding a good quality animal has more than one component. Genetics, temperament, and health. You either get all three or you get nothing, period. I see no reason why she cannot continue to improve upon the line her grand father created so many years ago if she is keeping tract of the lines (hence she knows the genetics), the animals recieve vet care, and she has done her research. After all, how do you think all of these breeds came about in the first place? Sheesh!
