Why do I keep on and on trying for that ultimate show dog, why do I put myself through the highs and usually the lows of bringing up, training and showing a dog that may just may become that once in a lifetime dog? Well maybe this little poem by the famous African-American poet Langston Hughes sums it all up.
'Hold fast to your dream,
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly'
I suspect his dream was for black and white equality in the US - mine is just a little bit smaller - to make up a Gordon Setter into a champion, but we all need dreams, however small or large!
