| A Breeder is one who thirsts for knowledge and never really knows it all and doesn't pretend he does... One who wrestles with many decisions... A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, fancy furniture... He gives up dreams of a long, luxurious vacation...Besides, who would watch/care for the dogs while he was gone... He goes without sleep in hours spent planning, cleaning, watching anxiously over the birth process and afterwards, over every little sneeze, wiggle, or cry... He skips parties because that litter is due or the babies have to be fed... His lap is a marvelous place where generations of happy, healthy and loved babies have snoozed...And still do... His hands are strong and firm, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a puppy's wet nose... His shoulders are stooped and often heaped with abuse from unkind words of those who don't understand, but wide enough to support the weight of a thousand "Thank You's" from happy new families... His arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of puppies or lend a helping hand to a newcomer...but can't hold grudges or hold onto unpleasant ridicule... His ears are wondrous things, sometimes red(from being talked about) or strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone receiver,) yet always fine-tuned to the whimper of a puppy or an oncoming storm... His eyes may be blurred from research and paperwork, but they are ever so keen to what a healthy, happy puppy looks and acts like... His brain is sometimes foggy on faces, but can recall how many were in a litter four years ago that produced a certain puppy... it's so full of knowledge that sometimes it blows a fuse: it catalogues thousands of colors, sizes, and perfect temperaments... His heart is sometimes broken but it beats strongly with hope everlasting...and it is always in the right place!" Author Unknown |
