Over the past several months I have been asked questions and to write down my opinion on our sport. Looking back on my family’s history in our sport, this sport that I love so much, I have been pondering where the road will now take us. I was taught at a very young age that showing and racing horses was the sport of Kings and Queens and that this sport, our sport, is the sport of Princes, Princesses, Dukes and Duchesses.

This sport is for those who love the competition and challenge of producing a quality dog over others against the breed standard as set forth by our forefathers. I have learned that we not only strive for perfection in the breeds that we love and own but also strive to build a true and everlasting bond of friendship with our newly found friends and competitors – our family.

I have spent the past fifty-five years (I am now 67) enjoying our sport and those around us from all over the world and learning each and every time I attend a dog show or talk to another breeder.

With that being said, I have been looking at where the road was and is now taking us. (This still holds true even today.)
