Of course, for me it's obvious but i forgot to mention it,
the efforts a breeder can do about character and morphology are to train the dog (basic training would be great but more training would be even greater), bonitation.
I am ready to spend 1000 or more on a dog who's parents are bonitated, have done basic training, some shows with breed expert judges...

About dog shows...I learnt after 8 years that dog shows mean NOTHING, really really nothing.
Because most judges know much less than we do about CSW.
The dog show results are just a good publicity, nothing else.
With exception to when the judges are also Breed Experts.
No offences to the others, but I consider today breed experts only 3 people.
Monika Soukupova, Oskar Dora and Sonja Bognarova.
And even they are human beings and can make mistakes.

Any result from other judges to my eyes are meaningless.
