A TRUE BREEDER
A Breeder is one who thirsts for knowledge, and never finds it all, but continues to try.
One who wrestles with decisions of conscience, convenience, and commitment.
A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, friendships,
fancy furniture, and deep pile carpeting! They give up the dreams of a long, luxurious cruise
in favor of turning that all important Show into this year's "vacation."
A Breeder puts their mind, body and soul into their passion to breed great dogs.
It is not about money or a weekly paycheck, but rather a paycheck filled with puppy kisses,
welcoming eyes, accompanied by a trusting heart & words of praise
from the lives that are enriched by their breeding program.
A Breeder's lap is a marvelous place where generations of proud and noble champions once snoozed.
A Breeder's hands are strong and firm and often soiled,
but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a puppy's wet nose.
A Breeder's back and knees are usually arthritic from stooping, her back heavy
from bending and sitting in the whelping box, but are strong enough to enable the
Breeder to show the next choice pup to a Championship.
A Breeder's arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of puppies,
or lend a helping hand to a newcomer.
A Breeder's shoulder's are stooped and often heaped with abuse from competitors,
but they are wide enough to support the weight of a thousand defeats and frustrations.
A Breeder's ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from being talked about) or\
strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone receiver), often deaf to
criticism, yet always fine-tuned to the whimper of a sick puppy.
A Breeder's eyes can see though a dishonest & mean-spirited person quickly.
A Breeder's brain is foggy on faces, but it can recall all of her puppy's names
faster than a computer can download a file.
A Breeder's heart is often broken, but it beats strongly with hope everlasting...
and is always in the right place.
Oh, yes, there are breeders and then, there are BREEDERS!
