There are many
factors that go into my decision to place a puppy as a companion
not to be bred or a show hopeful. I endeavor to produce puppies
with excellent temperaments that will be wonderful to own
whether they go to a show, performance or companion home, but
sometimes a pup is ideal for show except for temperament. It
takes a rather bold, fearless temperament to do well in the show
ring. Not all puppies that have the conformation for show have
the temperament to go with it. Sometimes puppies have a very
showy temperament but lack the outstanding conformation
characteristics to make a successful show dogs. These pups are
often ideal for performance. Sometimes, puppies are too small or
too large for show but are well suited for performance or
companion homes. Each puppy is an individual and is judged and
placed on the basis of his or her merit. The closer they are to
meeting the standard for the breed, the better the chances are
for it to be a show prospect. It is not easy to judge which is
the best pup, but the only way to guarantee that a dog is show
quality is to show it and win with it. Some breeders grow out
pups until they are about 6 months when they can be more sure of
the pups show potential. I have found that most people do not
want to wait until a pup is 6 months to a year old to get
it, so I sell the best pups at 10 weeks as show potential.
I feel that the pups greatly benefit from the individual
attention of the new owners. I guarantee a show pup to stay
in size, have no disqualifying faults, normal genetic testing and
have a good bite. If one of the show prospects doesn't meet
these criteria, I refund to pet price. That is usually a $200
refund with proof that the dog has been spayed or neutered. Again,
many things can ruin a pup for show; lack of socialization, no
training, improper ear training, poor diet, etc. I can only
offer a puppy as having correct conformation for it's age and a
temperament that shows signs of being a good show dog. I hope
that this gives you an idea of how I evaluate the pups. Thank
you for your patience and interest in my dogs.
