the great-grandsire?

Was it the Dam?
the granddam?
the great-granddam?

I guess what I'm trying to say is... bloodlines are really something you have to know about to appreciate. You really need to know where the Champions are in his pedigree.
So right on Connie, there are so many breeders that say their pups come from Champion Lines....in truth how did they get these lines, did they get them directly from the breeder of those Champions or did they go via the backdoor (which is most likely what has happened). So many pedigree hunters that use this phrase "Champion Lines" to promote their puppy sales. When really most pet buyers don't care.....all they should care about is did this pup come from healthy stock and great representations of the breed. Did the pups come from a loving, caring breeder whose only concern is breeding healthy dogs and finding wonderful homes for their pups.
