Top Five Reasons To Breed Your Dog

"Becoming a good breeder is moving from being a pilot to being an air-traffic controller. Suddenly your plane isn't the most important one in the sky."

You'll probably get more response on this one from pilots than dog breeders.

I am not a dog person but live with one so I am an expert. All dog breeders are without a doubt absolutely insane. Everyone thinks they are the smartest and everyone else is dismally stupid. And they all hate each other. There are many pseudo friendships that last to the point where one can butt-love the other. Did I miss something?

if most ppl owned my one dog they would never ever own another. The SOB has eaten a couch, 2 arm chairs, the bedding about 6 times, and enough of my pencils to start a business, but I still luv the little goof. He's a jug, jackass russeler pugger cross, and is super hyper. Now my jackass russeler is calm and cool, and makes friends with everyone and every other critter. I wouldn't breed dogs for love nor money, I couldn't get rid of the pups, so would go broke from having too many of critters!!

Yes Sir! Selective breeding...there's a lot to be said for it!

Why, it was only the other day that I had this very conversation with my old champion purebred Great Glengarry Moosehound.

"Jerome" I said, "you just thank your lucky stars that your Saskatchewan Stubblehund old man had the good sense to sniff out that little Temiskaming Trotter that whelped ya."

How do you know when your date with a pilot is half over:

When he says: "That's enough talk about airplanes, now let's talk about me".

I also have a large repertoire of air-traffic-controller jokes.

Dog-breeder jokes, not so much.

Pilots have a saying about Air traffic Controllers:
When a pilot screws up, the pilot dies
When ATC screws up, the pilot dies

I thank God for good breeders every time I take the dogs hunting or just field work them. The time and dedication to the breed shows the way these wonderful "Athletes" perform what they were bred to do. I'm grateful for the hard work and diligence of good breeders - I benefit from it every time we serve fresh pheasant for dinner.

Every time we agree to "dog sit" the daughter's little black pooch, it reaffirms my steadfast belief that the best dog is the one owned by someone else.

He came from a breeder (I was stunned at how much he cost), he takes to training well and he's great fun for a day or three when we know that soon enough he will be going home.

I always wonder what goes through a dog's mind as he watches you reach to pick up the steaming pile he's just dropped. There's a role reversal going on there, if only for a moment.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
