This is quite true!  Many years ago, my Mother and Dad were looking for a 
pyr.  They wanted it just as a pet and companion.  They were put in contact 
with a local breeder and went to look at their dogs.  While talking with the 
breeder, my Mother mentioned that they were interested in a female, and would 
want to have her spayed when she's old enough.  The breeders - husband and 
wife - looked at each other, then turned to Mother as asked if she'd be 
interested in a "older dog".  They had a beautiful female, 3 years old, that 
had some minor faults and wouldn't be suitable for the show ring.  They 
wondered if my folks would be interested in her, at a reduced price.  Sure 
enough, I think it was love at first sight.  Muffin became my parents 
constant companion and guardian.  She found a wonderful home with my folks, 
thanks to the concern of the breeder.  BTW - Muffin would have stayed with 
the Stombaughs (the breeders) whether she was showing or not!
