"Preservation vs. Conservation Breeders: Who Are We?
Written by Wyndlair Collies' Matt Stelter and appearing in the current issue of The Canine Chronicle.
Preservation vs. Conservation Breeders: Who Are We?
By Matt Stelter
Many types of people fall under the “dog breeder umbrella,” ranging from small hobbyists to large commercial kennels and everything in between. Invariably, these individuals can have very different breeding practices, ethics, and purposes from each other. For years, conformation and performance breeders struggled to define their identity and effectively differentiate themselves from other breeders in the eyes of the general public.
However, with the introduction and adoption of the term “preservationist” to the sport’s vernacular, we finally had a name we could identify with. It was a welcomed and needed title we could rally around and proudly put forth to the world. We had a banner to march under in our purebred breeding journey.
As breeders, we work to preserve our established breeds developed over many decades and centuries. Each breed was created to serve a specific purpose and fulfill the founders’ vision of the ideal dog as detailed in their written standard...continue reading: http://caninechronicle.com/?p=275769
"The number one driving force behind the dog show world is its breeders. However, the purebred breeder community is facing challenges greater than anything it has encountered before. The loss of longtime breeders, shrinking gene pools, and eroding breed type are all concerning. Popular sire syndrome is prevalent in many breeds as the number of high-quality stud dog options dwindles. Additionally, we now face increasing societal, economic, and municipal challenges that make sustaining a breeding program difficult.
So, how are we going to overcome this unprecedented adversity? It will require conservation dog breeders to stop viewing their fellow breeders as competitors and rivals, and begin embracing them as partners and collaborators. Successful breeding programs will no longer be able to operate on an island. Instead, it will take all of us coming together to pull in the same direction to ensure the preservation and advancement of our breeds." -Matt Stelter
