Read More: THERE IS NO PRIZE FOR SUFFERING THE MOSTPart 10 of The Breeder You Become series I have listened to breeders talk about going days without real sleep, missing weddings and holidays, working through illness, spending every available dollar on dogs and being unable to leave home for years, and the stories are usually told with that peculiar mixture of exhaustion and pride…

Read More: WHEN SUSTAINABILITY REQUIRES MORE DOGS THAN YOU CAN SUSTAINPart 9 of The Breeder You Become series I have sat with pedigrees, health information and future breeding plans many times and watched something make perfect sense on paper that made very little sense once every piece of it had to live inside an actual home.

Read More: WHEN PRESERVATION BREEDING MEETS MONEYPart 8 of The Breeder You Become series I was sitting at my kitchen table one evening with receipts spread everywhere, a dog asleep under my chair and another one standing beside me with her chin resting on my leg as if she might be able to help, when I made the mistake of trying…
