I’ve heard people say things like,
“I bought my dog from a reputable breeder, but he is not show quality. The breeder kept the show quality pups that were eventually going to be used for breeding.”
At such a young age, how is it possible for breeders to tell which pups will develop faults and which will go on to become breeding quality dogs?
How accurate can an experience breeder be by examining a potential pup? Because puppies change as they grow.
