Hi! Officially, I am still Charlotte K., happy to have the forum back. I admit that I am obsessed with dogs; they have been part of my family most of my life. I started in rescue long ago, rescuing cats and dogs: rare dogs and mixed breeds, purebreds and pound puppies. The breeders who love their own breed enough to help rescue are those that I wanted to emulate. Now I also breed some of my favorites, Labradors and Cavaliers, but only occasionally, when a new family member is desired. I am interested in Canaan Dogs and Cesky Terriers, but I no longer share my household with them--for now. I read veterinary articles for fun and knowledge. I am a health testing breeder, largely because I have been appalled at the health and behavior problems that I found in random bred purebreds and mixed breeds coming through rescue. "Better doggies through careful raising and breeding" seems to be working out. That being said, a rescue always gets a soft spot in my heart. Of the companion/performance venues, rally is my favorite, as one can talk to one's dog instead of maintaining a stern silence. Like the Labradors and the Cavaliers, I find that life is just too much fun to take it all so seriously all the time!

“Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”
