Everyone who knows me knows I love dogs. Yes I have my favourite breeds just like others, but I love several breeds of dogs. I joke and say I am the crazy dog lady. I love the different characteristics, and I love the companionship my dogs give me. I guess I trust a dog more than a person. The worst day for me is the day they go, and I have some dogs which its nearly torn me in two and Im not sure I can go through it again. But here I am... Maybe I surround myself with dogs because they are such good company.
You can read how I got to the breeds I own in our page Who are we. Just because we have breeding dogs does not mean they are all breeding dogs. Some dogs here are simply just pets.
But some dogs here I will have a litter from. In some cases of my smaller breeds I have just 1 litter when I want to keep one.
I also believe firmly if you own different breeds it teaches you more about construction and if you want to judge different breeds you should know what you're doing. Nothing worse than paying money to go under judges who do not know anything about the breed, even worse they dislike the breed. I remember a lady who hates Vizsla and yet she judges them. She openly has told me she would never own another. When I judge dogs it's because I absolutely love them. I would not undertake learning about a breed standard unless I love the breed Im looking at.
I have created pages on each of the little dogs we possibly will have a litter from in the future. We will not have more than 1 litter from the Frenchie, possibly 1-2 from the poodle, and the cocker spaniel honey I have not even thought about because she's a puppy.
