Oh come on, not fair. You specifically asked BC_Mom to give you her opinion of who should be breeding. When she gives you her opinion without any reference to your situation you act as if you have been attacked.

My personal opinion as to why I feel a dog should have some sort of titles (be it working or conformation) is that it shows that someone (actually more than just one someone) objective with a knowledge of the breed standards (which includes temperment) has evaluated that dog/bitch and decided that it is among the best that the breed has to offer. I know there are probably show peopla out there cringing because this judge or that judge is biased in some way. But the beauty of showing again in working class or conformation is that several people have looked over your dog. Left to our own opinions, fortunately or unfortunately, too many of us would decided that our dog is the most beautiful. smartest, sweetest dog of it's breed. But that is just my opinion.
