I build a group through the club, align families with possible sports, engage them in social media, and involve them in volunteer roles like graphic design or helping at events to keep people connected and committed to the breed.
Meet Stacy Able: Master Breeder of Ginkgo Barbets
Q: Take us back to the beginning. How did you get started in purebred dogs?
I wasn't into showing as a kid, but a sister-in-law imported a Barbet in the early 2000s, which sparked my interest and led me to explore the breed in depth, travel to France, and eventually bring dogs into the U.S. showing world.
Meet Armando Angelbello: Master Breeder of Marlex Miniature Pinschers
Q: What ideas do you have for how we can do a better job of introducing new people to purebred dogs?
We must be nurturing and welcoming to new people, especially younger ones, and guide them in understanding the breed.
