i would just like to note that not all showing qualities and hopes for the future stand out at birth. i'd just like to say that our super pup who we show often was kind of the ugly - duckling as he was fat and 'ugly', but we took him anyway. a few years later and look whos a fave at our shows????? star outshines in every way, but not so much when he was little. so its not looks , but temper because every ugly chi has a champion in them.
