So reading up from numerous sources and testing on your own is a must to try to figure out what works best. I guess you can say that about most things though.
Breeders who breed for show and go to show don't know anything about dogs at all usually.

A GSD(or Malinois, Lab, Border Collie, Aussie Shepherd... ad nauseum), for example, wasn't and isn't meant to be at dog shows. They're meant to work. Period. I despise those breeders and show people because they ruin the breed.
