Probably it was a good thing that I got bit by the show bug and find I dislike breeding. I love showing. Maybe that's the clue to starting out. Most people don't understand that one must study the breed inside and out before ever beginning a breeding program. I don't think it takes a special kind of person, just one that has a passion for the breed. Wanting to leave it better than they found it.
