One of my favorite quites is "Live for the journey, not the destination."  As a dog breeder, handler, and animal lover, I think it is impossible to live for the destination.  There is no true end.  The ultimate goal would be a perfect animal...   One free of health concerns, sound structure that always meets the AKC standard, and wonderful temperament in any situation.  That is an impossible goal.  Our goal here at Kyouji is to "live for the journey," that is: to alwyays look to improve health, type and temperament, and above all, breed happy, spoiled children...  And, of course, to enjoy the ride!
