Tina,
It was the way it was explained to me. A breeder/exhibitor usually breeds for their next Champion to add to their breeding program. One that is no longer showing, but still breeding to improve the breed, is probably still continuing with their passion, but more as a hobby. But, I guess you can consider both as hobbies.....cause we gotta be crazy to do it...
We pay for entry fees, hotel fees and travel expenses......for those 2 minutes the judge goes over your dogs....so, we got a be crazy.
