When Glory Becomes Inviting
It was just a quick comment. There were three of us on the phone call; the extended conversation (long drives elicit deep dives) had evolved into sharing ideas from judge, handler, and trainer perspectives about some of the trends seen in our breed.

The Falling Leaves Drift By The Windows…
