Puppies Due on March 1, 2010. Contact us for more information at: [email protected]
I think back to when we fi rst got
started in the sport. We initially were
looking for a pet – a dog to take
running with us. The idea of a pet
progressed to the thought of getting
a show dog. So we went to a dog
show to see what it was all about and
we watched the Dalmatian judging.
I had no understanding of the breed
standard, ring procedure, or the
judging process. The dogs all looked
about the same to me, and I had no
idea what the judge was doing, let
alone why she made the decisions
she did.
After that fi rst show, we did our
homework. We read the breed
standard and any breed publications
we could get our hands on. We
spent time talking to breeders and
attending dog shows, and we began
to develop a better understanding
of the breed. I remember sitting
ringside in the early days, as my eye
started to develop. I could now fi nd
my way to a good dog, and while I
could single out that dog, it took
time for me to identify the attributes
that made this animal a good one. I
remember sitting with a very good
friend who was far more experienced
in the breed and marveling at how
rapidly Dawn could get to the
details of the animal’s structure –
quickly able to identify the strengths
and weaknesses of the dog being
discussed. While I knew that it all
seemed to fi t together properly, she
could tell me exactly why. That’s the
difference 10,000 hours makes.
When we got started in dogs,
my husband was going to be the
Conformation Handler and I was
going to train the dogs in Obedience.
After sitting ringside and watching
people show dogs in conformation,
and fi nding myself to be an abysmal
failure at obedience, I decided to try
my hand in the show ring. Heck, all
you had to do was run around the
ring with a dog – how hard could
that be!
I went to my fi rst handling class. It
happened to be the week before
the big benched show in California
where we were living at the time. The
class instructor was the professional
handler Laurie Jordan Fenner. I very
quickly found out that running around
Commitment
I recently read a book called “Outliers: The Story of Success” written by Malcolm Gladwell. The book attempts to answer the question of why some people succeed and others never reach their potential. I am sure many of you have read the book or have heard about it. There is a concept in the book that resonated with me – the 10,000 hours rule. Gladwell’s premise is that to excel in any endeavor requires an investment of 10,000 hours of effort. I think it is a valid premise and I believe that it applies to just about everything we do in this world, and of course, to the sport of dogs.
How Did You SpendYour Last 10,000 Hours?
E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.comE Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com
the ring properly was not as easy as
it looked and my fi rst go around in
her conformation ring was painful.
Laurie walked up to me and asked,
“Are you showing at Golden Gate
this weekend?” I answered “No” to
which she said under her breath as
she walked away “Thank God”.
I persisted. We came back to class
on a regular basis and six weeks later
I competed at my fi rst dog show. We
placed 3rd. I didn’t drop the lead,
trip over the dog or run up on the
judge. It was in my mind a perfect
performance.
Six years later I ran around the group
ring with my fi rst special. Laurie was
sitting outside the ring watching me.
I think it was the fi rst time she’d seen
me with Ginger and only my third
time in the group ring. We placed
2nd. Afterward Laurie came over
to congratulate me. I think she was
almost as happy as I was. She took
me under her wing and gave me
some advice on showing “in the big
leagues”. Six months later I would
fi nd myself competing against her
and her husband Larry in the Best
in Show ring. That’s the difference
10,000 hours makes.
Nowhere in the sport of dogs is
the concept of 10,000 hours more
apparent than in the whelping box. It
is where the proverbial rubber meets
the road. It is the place, when all goes
right and the planets align that can
make a breeder’s heart sing. And it is
also the place that can test the metal
of even the most committed breeder.
Mother Nature takes no prisoners,
and if you have ever doubted this fact,
just breed a litter.
Planning a breeding draws on all of
the things we have learned in dogs.
It is the one place where it all comes
together – sometimes as we thought,
and sometimes not. I got to know a
very well respected Bulldog breeder.
We were talking one Sunday afternoon
about our goals as breeders. She
said very succinctly to me “I decided
very early on that I wanted to be the
person that people looked for at a
specialty show. You know, the person
that people said “Gosh, I wonder what
Jennifer will have this year”.
We all know who these people are
within our own breeds. They are the
thoughtful people who have invested
years of time and effort in the sport.
Every litter is carefully planned, and
while every litter might not produce
the result desired, over time there is
a consistency and quality that cannot
be denied. They are the people
that are modest in their successes
of which there are usually many and
able to bounce back from the brink
of disaster of which there are always
a few. These people have put in their
10,000 hours multiple times over. They
are the backbone of our sport and
while they may not be in the ring at
every national specialty, you will fi nd
them sitting ringside, because there is
always something else to learn.
Which brings us back to commitment.
To log the 10,000 hours that Gladwell
points to as one of the distinguishing
elements of achieving success, you
must be committed. It can take some
people years to accumulate their
10,000 hours, others never will. But for
those dedicated, passionate folks, the
fi rst 10,000 hours were gone before
they knew it. Their commitment has
carried them through the dark hours
of pain and disappointment and has
been celebrated in the consistent
quality of the progeny that carry
their kennel name. You can be quite
certain of where they’ll be spending
their next 10,000 hours.
Commitment
