A newly released book, Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, by Nobel winning author Daniel Kahneman, is a terrific read that speaks to human judgement inconsistencies that are impacted by what the author calls “noise.” He isn’t talking about audio noise.

One of the few benefits to emerge from pandemic life has been the revival of dog/owner relationships. Legions of lonely, bored and housebound humans suddenly rediscovered the pleasures of walking the dog. Man’s best friend has become the ideal alternative to overabundant family togetherness and general tedium. Zoom time or dog time…there is no comparison.

The simple fact is that regardless of the modern tools now available to help us refine the selective process, polishing breed type remains a tricky, complicated tradeoff.
