I would say for the most part yes. But there are always exceptions to the rule. Also near me there are a good bit of small time hobby breeders that set up at the local shows. So far most of them seem good but they haven't been in it long enough to get a reputation good or bad. There is a breeder that sets up at my local show that pretty much only gets first time buyers. He's there every time in the same place and it has become known as the wall of death to most of the regulars. So be sure to ask around about the people you purchase from at an expo or online. Good luck with your newest addition and future ones.
