In the world of purebred dogs, we pride ourselves on precision, planning, and passion. Yet lately, the dog show calendar reads more like a cautionary tale from a business textbook than a roadmap to breed excellence. The hard truth? We are facing a classic economic imbalance: too much inventory, and not enough buyers.
