We do show our dogs, and will place a quality pup in a show home, but that is not the end all be all for us. Our goal is to produce top notchtTemperament and health first , along with correct breed stucture. It is much better to get a purebred from a responsible breeder, one guaranteed to be genetically free of any health problems than some poor dog who ends up crippled, costing the owner thousands of dollars in vet bills. That does not include the heartbreak when the dog has to be put down early in its life. This is unlikely to happen.
Purebreds are around for one reason.
People like to know what they are getting. No two dogs are the same. If you live in an apartment, and you can only have a dog that is less than 25 lb. If you have allergies, you can get a non-shedding breed. The list is endless.
