Big time breeders do not, as a rule, have better quality. They have more animals, but more animals does not equate to "higher quality".
Next time you are at a big show (Daytona, NARBC), keep a tally on those few 'big time' breeders, and the mid level to smaller breeders. Hands down, I have always seen the best from the midlevels to small. Maybe it's because they are more hands on and keep only the finest select animals.
Regardless of the numbers someone keeps, their quality speaks in the animals they produce and sell. Not the quantity that they sell.![]()
