I don't think either that just because a dog is a Champion he is a "perfect dog".  There are many
other important considerations also, including temperament and genetic history.  I just feel it is
someplace to start - NOT something to base a breeding on.  The big thing for anyone breeding their
dog is to do their research and take responsibility for what they produce.  Some people just don't
realize what they are getting into.  Good luck with your future puppy!
