Grondemon, Jeangenie & Moonmaiden, couldnt agree more! People have a great dog or a well known kennel somewhere way back in a pedigree, and play up on it no end when selling mediocre pups! Unfortunatley, the General Public are so willing to be hoodwinked over their own pup that they take it all in and believe it! And however great a dog is, if you count the number of other "nobodies" in the pedigree, that one little bit of exceptional breeding 3/4/5 generations back are unlikely to turn the litter way down the line into carbon copies of the breed standard!
