Saturday – Form & Function – 9:15

This course covers the importance of a breed’s function to preserve breeders. Each one of the recognized breeds is a living, breathing conduit to specific people, places, and times of history. Our role as responsible, preservation breeders is to serve as curators of the purebred dog. Preservation breeding, breeding to the standard — written to describe the dog that did its job the best — breeding to continue seeking to achieve the *ideal*, the FORM that served our breeds’ FUNCTION, is how we can best bring history to life now and into the future.
