A few years ago, I realized that my arthritic knees had become more accurate at forecasting changes in the weather than the National Weather Service. Not that it came as a great surprise to me as, like most investigative reporters, I view anything emanating from a government agency as suspect. However, what I didn’t realize was that dogs–mine and those belonging to others–were even better at detecting weather changes in the offing than my knees.

I graduated from college with a degree in elementary education. A required class for that tract was a comprehensive immersion into children’s literature. With another major in English literature, it was an excellent pairing for me. Both of these majors have proven to be worthy assets in my life. From helping me guide our son through school to coaching new exhibitors in the ring–and to be sitting here writing for you, my faithful readers–I am grateful for that education.

The dog-loving general public has fallen for language that automatically makes purebred dog breeders the enemy of kindness and morality. As the marketing rolls out from animal rights groups into general-population usage through social media, pithy pronouncements like “adopt, don’t shop” take on mythical, magical, and poisonous properties. It’s up to the fancy to clap back on language that makes it easier for people to vote for laws that affect the rights to own and enjoy any kind of dog–purebred or mixed, intact or neutered, and even whether litters of puppies can legally be produced.

Legends come and go. Be they walking on four or two legs, one thing is certain–no one gets out of this life alive.

Like many others, I stumbled into showing dogs. When I was nine, my neighbor took a chance, knocking on my door and asking for my help. I’d never even walked a dog before, much less considered showing one. I remember tentatively nodding before running my first ever down and back with a Chesapeake Bay Retriever happily bounding beside me. From that moment, though, I knew I was in the sport for the long haul. Since then, I have had numerous breeders offer me once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that have shaped me into who I am today. Without them taking the chance on me, I would have stayed stagnant.
