I’ve always liked dogs as animals. The evolution of the species goes hand in hand with the development of human societies. It was the first domesticated animal and still acts as a vital part of many houses, neighborhoods and villages. In many parts of the developing world stray dogs keep the local societies clean from garbage and pests like rats and raccoons. In the west (or north) many dogs help people hunt, guard their farms, search for illegal drugs or help the blind to navigate in their surroundings. That’s why dogs were domesticated in the first place. To work and earn their living as an important part of the system. Yes, I’ve always liked dogs.

Still, one thing remains as a mystery to me. Breeding. And the breed shows. As a dog person (but not a show person) I had to go and see how the professionals earn their living and how the owners come and collect their prizes.
