When things go sideways and I start to become unraveled, it is important to me to stop, process, and think. Having rational thought and focus is essential to comprehension of any situation. What I can excuse or walk away from as a handler does not apply to my SELF as a breeder or the effect it has on my breed. The impact of adjudication, in the present and future of a breed, can be long lasting and–at times–either proactive or detrimental. Education is the key. I am not referring to education solely from books and videos, but education from mentoring, hands-on experience, and learning the functionality of purpose. One must intentionally work towards comprehending the nuances that make individual breeds unique while differentiating the priorities and hallmarks.
This past week has been a sad and tragic time for everyone in our sport. I hope everyone can find a bit of comfort by realizing that no matter what, we all have each other. Our community–even though it spans the nation and the world–is a tight-knit family that has each other’s back. In times of need our differences are set aside, and we rise to the occasion whatever it may be, to be there for each other. We must continue this tradition in these very difficult times, and remember to be there for each other; tell your friends you love them, and check in with those who you have not spoken to for awhile.
