In The Interest Of Purebred Dogs

Then there is the “Specials Only”
class (open to both sexes) all of
which animals must be champions
of record and any undefeated dogs
which have competed at the show.
only in classes other than the reg-
ular classes are brought into the
ring to compete against the male
or female which has been chosen
“Best of Winners”. From this group
the judge selects the best one in
his opinion and awards the title
“Best of breed” or “Best of Variety
of Breed” to the one selected. Some
breeds have 2 varieties (beagles)
8 ome have three (spaniels).
Then each Best of Breed or Best
of Variety winner competes against
the others of the group to which
that breed belongs and the winner
in this “Best of
Group”.

These winners,

“Best in Show.”

in turn,’
“an eye for a good dog”, even
though you have had no real exper-
ience previously, you will readily
acquire the ability to see the desir-
ability of owning a purebred rather
than a mongrel if you're going to
have a dog, for you will soon see
that dogs in each of the breeds
are very similar and tend to follow
a definite pattern, however they
may differ from each other in
minute detail. This means that if
you buy a fox terrier puppy, for
instance, you can be sure that he
will grow up to look like a fox
terrier and will have those charac-
teristics which are typical of the
breed. The more you can learn
about the breed in which you are
or intend to become interested be-
fore making purchase, or choosing
breeding stock or stud services, the
smaller chance there is that you
can be cheated into accepting an
animal which is a poor value for
the price which you intend to in-
vest. I don’t mean that you should
expect to go to a kennel and ask
for the best they have to offer with
| the expectation of getting it for
| what you would pay for an animal
| from a pet shop, but experience has
taught most of the serious minded
| breeders that the best one can
| afford is the cheapest in the long
[= If you have an abundance of
|
what it takes and are
in a show dog already in training
| or possibly one which has already
made his championship, these are
| obtainable, but you must expect
to pay for all the hard work and
expense which has already gone in-
to making the dog what he is. On
| the other hand, there are many
| reliable kennels which offer ex-
cellently bred dogs which are typey
but not of show quality at very fair
prices.
If you are interested in breeding,
it is even more important that in
order to know what it is all about
and be able to select your founda-
tion stock wisely that you go to a
number of shows. Many a novice
breeder has wasted years of time
and much more money than any-
and learn his breed before he
plunged headlong into expense and
heartbreak by buying and becom-
ing attached to a dog or bitch
without first giving careful thought
posed breeding program. Then he
can’t bear to part with his pet, nor
bitch or using his dog at stud in
| the nearly always futile hope that
| Secinse the bloodlines are fair, or
good, or even very good, that “like”
| will, this once, for him fail to
| produce “like” and that by some
miracle - he will get good stock
from animals which, to be brutally
frank, never should have been
| permitted to reproduce themselves.
The experienced breeder, even after
years of experimenting with the
best the breed has to offer, and with
the records of his own successess
and failures in his files, still goes
to the shows to size up the get
of the leading stud dogs he may
have in mind to use with his own
brood matrons, or with the idea of
purchasing another matron. He is
always interested in following up
promising stock which he has sold
to other breeders or exhibitors, or
to look for young stock which has
been sired by his own studs.
And last—though by no means
least—dog shows are-important be-
cause they have brought into being
many friendships which last a life-
time. A common interest is the
soundest basis for friendship, and
dog people—with a few exceptions,
are a friendly, democratic lot, us-
ually willing to go out of their way
to help each other or a really in-
terested newcomer.
| Dog shows really are worth while
| —may we hope to see you all
around once in a while?
