Personally, I really don't see how anyone could find enough time and resources to devote herself fully to three different breeds. The breeders I know
* are constantly doing research to keep up with news and developments in their breed
* are frequently in contact with other breeders
* participate in breed- or type-specific activities (such as earthdog, or lure coursing, or hunting or whatever), and participate in and attend breed- and type-specific shows and trials. These can happen every weekend, and often require travel
* spend hours every day grooming, exercising, and training their own dogs, of which they typically have several
* spend hours planning matings and litters, caring for pregnant dogs and puppies, and dealing with potential buyers
* sometimes even devote time to non-dog activities (like eating, cleaning, spending time with their families, maybe even watching a little tv...) as well
Multiply that by three breeds, and it seems like something has to be sacrificed somewhere.
