Kind of hard to "make a name for yourself even before you breed the first pup" if you dont have a "product" to show off! You can make a name for yourself as someone that hangs out at shows, and you can absorb information a mentor feeds you.....but until you actually breed and produce your first litter, you are nothing more than possibly a knowledgable show groupie! So now, with all that studying, researching, running around to all the shows, meeting and greeting all the show people, here you are....no puppies, no advertising....no one knows if you can even put all that book learning to good use....I am not sure what kind of a name you have made for yourself, or what you can call yourself, but it sure aint "breeder"! |
