What makes a puppy pet quality?
There are many factors that go into my decision to sell a puppy as a companion not to be bred. 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 a 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.
