We are hoping to add a white Standard to our family in the next year or so and have started our research regarding breeders etc. Aside from the obvious, health clearances, seeing dogs in person to check temperament etc., is there anything we should keep an eye out for? I remember hearing many, many years ago that there is a difference between the show dog personality/temperament and that which is ideal for a companion dog. Is this true and if so what exactly does it mean? As much as I would like to get out and show, the degree of coat care and what appears to be elaborate clips etc. concerns me as it looks so difficult to maintain so I suspect we will be just looking for a pet.
Thanks for any information.
