I had an interesting interview yesterday with Julie Forbes on The Dog Show,. One of the topics we discussed at length was dog breeding in the dog show community. I have met many a breeder in my travels to numerous dog shows. But I am not a breeder and I don’t intend to be.
This is my choice because I would never be able to part with a puppy, I’m sure! However I must say I respect the breeders I have met who do their best to breed healthy, stable, beautiful dogs. This is a provocative topic to be sure.
What do you think? By the way, Julie loved my book!
