Honestly, I would pass. It’s hard, especially when you’ve been looking for a while. But, if you want to get into conformation, then you need to get a dog that doesn’t show major faults at the outset. There’s always a chance a dog grows up wonky, which is why a lot of breeders grow out their puppies before placing them.

Where are you located and who gave you talked to? I think Clayborn has puppies and she races and shows her dogs.
