Nobody wants a dog with a bad disposition. It's not much fun to own a dog which is not people-oriented either. Out of sentiment, people will keep unsatisfactory dogs because they cannot bring themselves to part with them. Others pass such dogs around, and as they go from home to home, dispositions get worse, and loyalties further confused.

Some of you would absolutely love to own a puppy that could aspire to becoming show ring material. If this is the case, it is important to realize that the breeder has no way of knowing how well an 8-week old puppy will turn out as a top-notch show dog. In fact, no reputable breeder will ever guarantee a tiny puppy as a “show dog”. If a breeder does make this claim, then be adamant about making your skepticism known. What the breeder can say, which is perfectly acceptable, is “from all appearances at this time, the puppy seems to be of show quality and if no major faults develop, he could be a great show prospect.” Then it is up to you to ask what the faults are (major and minor), and keep your eyes open for them.
