| I really do not think so. Take for example, my Alexis. comes from a good breeder, where both parents had their championships. It was a large litter of 11. After evaluating. not every puppy in the litter can be show quality. Some while have more qualities than other, which makes them better prospects. Out of the 11 puppies, I think 4 or 5 were sold as Show quality and the rest as pet quality. Still the same parents and genetics behind them. I think any breeder will confirm that evaluating puppies is difficult because at a young age, they are always morphing in unusual ways and one day one will look like Show and a few days later, maybe not. Getting a pet quality from a show breeder does not lessen the fact of getting a quality puppy.
