I have a dream—a dream where effort is once again valued, where dedication is not seen as a burden, but as the cornerstone of excellence. I dream of a world where people once again respect the heritage, the purpose, and the artistry that is woven into the very DNA of our purebred dogs.

I dream of a day when the pursuit of convenience does not overshadow the pursuit of greatness. Just as we once revered classical music for its complexity, for the years of practice and mastery it demands, so too should we honor the lineage of these noble breeds. I dream of a time when breeding is seen as it once was: a true art, an intricate dance of selection, dedication, and love—where every pairing is thoughtful, every step intentional, and the result is a dog that embodies health, vitality, and purpose.

I dream of the day when presenting a show dog in the ring, at the peak of their health and splendor, once again makes hearts race—not just for their beauty, but for the strength of the genetics they carry, the care in their upbringing, the purpose in their existence. I dream of a world where people recognize that breeding is not about vanity, but about the careful preservation of instinct, the nurturing of natural talents, and the celebration of the incredible bond between human and dog.

Yes, I hear the voices that say breeding has been tarnished by those who chose vanity over integrity. But I say this: one wrong does not erase the right. Just as there are sad stories in every sport, in every art, there will always be those who falter. But we do not dismiss the beauty of the craft because of a few missteps. We reclaim it. We redefine it. We rise above.

I have a dream that people will come to understand once more the purpose of purebreds. That they will remember these dogs were designed not just to look a certain way, but to do something—to herd, to hunt, to protect, to comfort. I dream of a world where the doodle craze fades, and the true essence of each breed shines through. A world where people choose a dog not because it is easy, but because it is right. Because it is a reflection of history, of function, of hundreds of years of careful thought and respect.

I have a dream that the art of breeding will once again be held in the high regard it deserves. That we will cherish the beauty of a well-bred dog not just for its appearance, but for its heart, its mind, and its soul. A dog that moves with purpose and joy, not because it was trained to do so, but because it was born to.

I dream of a time when people will once again seek out purebreds for the qualities that make them unique—qualities shaped by generations of careful breeding, by the wisdom of those who understood that a dog’s purpose runs deeper than fur and bones. I dream of a world where we honor the legacies of these incredible animals, where we protect their health, their instincts, their essence.

I have a dream that we will return to a time when excellence is not sacrificed for ease. When we will once again recognize that what is truly great—what is truly worthwhile—takes time, takes effort, takes devotion. I dream of a future where purebred dogs are once again celebrated for the remarkable creatures they are, and where we, as stewards of their legacy, honor them with the respect and care they deserve.

Let us dream of a better tomorrow for the future of purebreds. A tomorrow where we rise to the challenge, where we remember the beauty of doing things the right way—not the easy way. And together, let us work toward a future where the noble breeds of the past are once again recognized for their greatness, and where we reclaim the art of breeding, not for vanity, but for the love of the dog.❤️🐩
