The importance of a good mentor to any person who is new to a breed or our sport cannot be over-emphasized. Good mentors are those amazing individuals who help instill the values we hold when it comes to breeding, developing our ability to evaluate dogs with a fair and impartial eye, and underpinning our devotion to the breed and not just our own dogs. They contribute significantly and equally to our success in the whelping box and the conformation ring. And, in the long term, they even impact–positively, I think–to the things we ultimately contribute to our breed.
The quintessential “Type vs. Soundness” debate endures. In our sport centered on subjective evaluation, continuing the debate is healthy and necessary for properly assessing the dogs we see. There is, however, another debate that increasingly deserves an active, unbiased, and respectful discussion. That debate is: “Type vs Style.”
