An interesting dog item appeared in the paper last week. As we know, the legal biz has become quite specialized with tax law, criminal law, and family law, just to name a few fields of specialization. Apparently, we now have a dog lawyer. Richard Rosenthal has specialized in this field for the past decade. This profile outlined his background and reasons for making his niche in such an obscure field, a label that some would consider open to debate.
From a breeder’s perspective, the pandemic simply amplified many issues that have been forcing changes in our entrenched standards and practices.
We received the very sad news that Peggy Dillard Carr of Franklin, Tennessee passed away on January 7. Peggy was a longtime fancier, AKC judge and breeder of Pekingese.

By Amy Fernandez It’s impossible to not wonder how long our dogs will live. The unfortunate reality of canine longevity is built into this deal from the moment it starts. I won’t bore you with platitudes and rationalizations about losing beloved dogs because no matter how you dice it, that bit of rough truth is […]
Methodical Consistency is a term I have coined for the express purpose of explaining what happens when one applies all the practical rules of breeding while focusing on purposeful function. It defines a chosen path using proven methods to produce a consistent product. This is simplicity at its finest, but is this so simple? I pose this question because if one reads the material and processes it properly, it will seem much easier in theory than in actual practice. Why is this so? When you take science and mix it with luck and prayer, all you can hope for is magic. With methodical consistency we can isolate the variances and guide the results.

1. Never quit learning. So you finished your first champion. Won your first NOHS BIS. Won your first group. Your first regular BIS. Your second. Your third. You’re at the top in your breed. Don’t think you can’t be better, do better. Don’t think you know too much to profit from a handling class, or from watching the groups, or asking a pro for advice. You will never know all there is to know. The only difference is how fast you learn as much as you can—and where you stop because you think you know everything.
