I know showing and breeding normally go hand in hand because you're breeding for your next show dog and showing to make sure it's the best and then breeding for more great dogs. I've just always thought it would be fun to have one or two dogs to show, but I just don't really want to breed

OK, here's the thing......I love showing, it's a passion. But, in order to get show dogs you have to breed, that is unless you have unlimited funds to keep on buying those show dogs. And then there is those very strict contracts that go along with each show dog. Then there is that bit of ego that comes into play when you breed your first home bred Champion. Believe me there is nothing like that feeling you get when you begin winning from the Bred By Exhibitor Class.
