Being walked lets dogs socialise with other dogs, explore the tantalising smells beyond their home and play with their preferred playmates.

Most of the small breeds, notably the toys and terriers usually produce very small litters. This is in part because of their very small size, which limits their capacity to carry large litters.

We don’t get our dogs because we want to project an image. We choose our breeds because we like their qualities, whether it be intelligence, work ethic, trainability, agility and speed, temperament, etc.

A Breeder-judge is a judge who specializes and has thorough knowledge in judging a particular breed.

Breeders should be willing to answer any questions you have and should ask many of you as well. Breeders will want to make sure their puppies are going to good homes, with people who know what to expect and have made all the necessary preparations

If you’re talking about the biggest dog shows and the heaviest coated breeds i.e. anything that is clipped or hand-stripped then you want to be “very good” as a groomer. Very, very good.
