Showing to me is a hobby and I make sure that I save money to be able to do my hobby and if tragedy were to strike my hobby would have to be put on the back burner of course but with fingers crossed I'm hoping nothing castrosphic will never happen God forbid....but as in life we never know so until then I will continue to enjoy my hobby of showing  I just enjoy my hobby of showing and being an exhibitor breeder instead of a pet breeder (not directed at you of course)
I'm sorry to hear about your friend it is sad but with someone of that age things do happen unfortunately  My condolences |
Oh let me add this.....Breeding isn't essential either as it is a hobby as well but should come after showing to exhibit the best of your breeding program as Mary stated it goes hand in hand
