The wildfires that devastated Maui last August provided incredibly graphic documentation of an unfolding catastrophe. And dogs were front and center of the story–on both sides of the equation. Heartbreaking images of residents fleeing their homes clutching pets reinforced the notion of “most prized possession.” Frequently, the speed and ferocity of the blaze permitted no time to think or plan as they escaped the encroaching deathtrap. Those heartbreaking scenes were rivaled by the pleas of desperate owners hoping to find their missing animals.

In this fast-paced, high-tech world, sometimes we’re zooming so fast we miss seeing everything right under our noses! Any long-time, successful breeder can tell you it takes years to build a foundation from which to breed. The “Powers That Be” understand that and ask for a minimum amount of time required as part of the Judging Application Process as a Breeder /Judge–“X” number of litters and “X” number of Champions bred.

Those who apply as a “Breeder/Judge” seldom (if ever) disappoint in preparedness by virtue of “time served” in the whelping box and show ring.
