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.

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.
