I definitely agree. A CH title is only one part of what makes a dog worth breeding. Honestly, there are some breeds that I do not care whether they are CH titled or not (Border Collies, etc) if they cannot kick butt in any trial and work every day, because their purpose is to be superior working dogs.

I do feel that conformation is huge for every breed, because form does follow function, and because the conformation is part of what distinguishes each breed. A CH title doesn't necessarily guarentee the conformation of the dog, which is why everyone considering a pup from a breeder should meet both parents and should be knowledgable of the breed's structure... but it definitely does mean something, to me, and I feel that a CH is preferrable, not necessary as long as the dog *is* proven to have great conformation by looking at them in person.
