A Vintage Year
A lifetime in the dog biz imparts an interesting perspective on lots of stuff. Among the most fascinating phenomena I’ve witnessed is the rise and fall of various breeds. It’s impossible to bottle any predictive cues to spot these trends. They’re shaped by so many random and varying circumstances, which rarely stand out as a proximate cause to explain anything.

They rightly expect our dogs to be clean and properly groomed. Our dogs should be reasonably trained and able to hold a stack long enough for the judge to complete their hands-on exam, and our dogs should be able move on a loose lead.
