Every breeder wants their puppies to have ears like the ones described in their breed’s standard.

Sportsmen commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy, and vigorous competition, as well as winning and losing with grace – AKC’s Code of Sportsmanship.
Sometimes I get a distinct feeling many don’t “actually” read all the rules regarding exhibiting dogs at AKC shows. That includes both exhibitors and judges.
About a year ago I met Tom Schonberger at a show where we were on the same judge’s panel.

Anyone seriously contemplating a long-term relationship with this sport confronts a startling realization early on. You can do it the right way or the wrong way–because either choice can lead to success. Ethics is the thing. Despite official rhetoric to the contrary plenty of people succeed in dogs without a shred of ethics or morality. And, as we know, the right way is generally not the easy way. And that brings us to Barbara Humphries Gossett. The dog world lost Barbara in September but she left a legacy to this sport that is in drastically short supply.
