Usually, if you go to a breeder who shows their dogs, the chances are greater that the breeder is breeding to the standard and trying to improve – not just breeding for money. Showing dogs is expensive! Not to mention, the chances are also greater that you will be getting a dog that is within the standard as well. However, I do know of some good and ethical breeders who do not show either. Use your better judgement.
