I agree with one reservation. It is all true, provided the potential puppy buyer KNOWS exactly what to look for as far as the breeder is concerned. As long as somebody does not know much about dogs in general, the specific breed in particular, the process and criteria of good breeding, etc. the breeder is the sole informer and can convince such a person that only HE sells good pups whatever the truth is.

Gathering information is time consuming, reliance on expert opinions more and more common, not to mention the problem of various, sometimes even contradictory views on breeding. It could be quite challenging for a potential owner to find a path in the jungle of information.

That's why I think we should highly respect those potential owners who before buying the pup spend a few months on reading about the breed, visiting kennels and dog shows, corresponding with the breeders and asking questions on the forum. In case of CSVs the question of the puppy's price is secondary to the issue if one would be able to make a good CSV owner.
