When choosing my Foundation dogs, I considered carefully:
Health, temperament, drive, structure, workability and conformation.

My dogs share my home, and they are loved dearly.
I train them myself, and spend most of my time with my dogs.

Because I expect them to do well in performance rings and not only in conformation, it is very important to me that they have the structure that allows them to be successful, the talent to perform, and health that will keep them with us for as long as possible.
My dogs have feisty working temperaments, therefore they would not be suitable in pet homes.

I believe that you can "have it all" with careful planning.
