In the case of import of Russian champions to the US, it is also the case that progeny have already been imported, and their quality so good, that the known producer champion sire/dam is sought after, or even Russian champion in whelp, litter sired by Russian champion, is imported. In the latter situation, it is then possible for US breeder to have full control of litter and have available the litter picks. Nevertheless, the mark of a great breeder is not to take the easiest route, but to create quality through selection.
