We have heard many times about how “it used to be”.
.. Within a breed, everyone was friendly and supportive with common
goals and dreams. Breeders were fierce competitors in the ring,
but after the show, everyone would congregate to share knowledge
and ideas and to “talk dogs. With the phasing out of benched
shows and the always increasing number of available shows, many
folks within a breed hardly know each other--much less share ideas
or mentor a newcomer. Finding a mentor has become more difficult.
It is not unusual for a novice fancier to get his first showdog
from a distant kennel – that kennel could be across the
country or on the other side of the world.
