A MOMENT
This is just a thought, a true quality breeder is dedicated to creating great dogs so that each dog can enhance and raise the breed to new heights. My love for the breed drives me to see more great dogs in the ring, not just handler creations made out of barely adequate dogs. A community is needed not only to raise a pup but to create beautiful dogs. It takes honest, dedicated breeders combining their talent, knowledge, experience, love and energy to do this right. It takes handlers who know how to present the dog to perfection. It takes people who believe in that dog enough to let the dog community see the work these breeders have done. Then those dogs must be shared so that other dedicated breeders can better their breeding programs.
Just a thought take it how you wanna.
