But (isnt' there always a but), usually one does have an idea on what breed they want to breed. Usually one develops a passion, an admiration, a falling in love if you will with a particular breed or even two 
The mentor you are talking about is usually breed specific. I think you do need to narrow your field a bit. And then come to your decision.
For example what breed do you own right now? Or mayhap when you were growing up?
Every breed is challenging to breed, to improve that breed. Yorkies have a certain set of challenges, as do Dalmations, rotties, Shepherds, Spaniels,e tal.
Find the breed that is your passion, then learn all you can. |
Honestly that is my problem! It's not that I am not passionate about a specific breed, it's that I'm passionate about several! I currently have 3 yorkies and a Siberian Husky. I love my yorkies, but I also have an interest in Dalmatians and Golden Retrievers. I have narrowed my field to yorkies, dalmatians, and goldens.
Thank you so much for your comments though!
