| Hi Toni,yes I understand where you are coming from. Your question is Ch or working lines??
As I stated before, anyone who is truly passionate and dedicated and who truly UNDERSTANDS the character of this breed will be breeding for the all purpose dog. I personally dont breed for just the comformation ring, I breed for both. Which means they look typical,they have all the desired drives and they go out there saying HEY LOOK AT ME,IM THE GREATEST THING ON 4 LEGS. Now I dont disagree that there are people who breed just for the all breeds ring,but dont put everyone in that catergory,there are people who understand the all purpose dog and who wont settle for anything less. When breeding you should be trying to acheive a dog that is typey(which means you couldnt miss him for a Rottweiler) and of course temperament. I agree that alot of show Rotts lack in temperament,but there are also alot of Rotts working that look un-typical. If you do your homework properly Im sure you can find a breeder who wants to acheive both.
