Yes, that's true. But who, when buying a pup, actually cares? Couple of people. The rest takes the champions as they are presented. So they take bad pups from untypical champions and then they are surprised and angry when they get bad marks at our club show or at bonitation...
Anyway, I don't like shows exactly because of this - it is a good occasion to meet people and see their dogs, and make a good name for the breed among general public, but that's it. The show results should not be taken as the indicators of the stud value.
