i know there are a few guys who are mentioned on a regular basis,that are classed as good dog men,big names for certain breeds and working ability of their dogs,proven workers and rarely no need to advertise litters,if your in the know,you know whos got what(sounds a bit sinister lol)so what five words would describe a good dog man,knowledge for example,do we expect him to have good knowledge of one type of breed,the one he himself may specialise in, or many types of breeds,so whats your thoughts lads, only five words,

cheers rob

plenty of money,you will find most dogs are bought doing the job, most cant be arsed with bringing up a pup,so pulling out a few grand is alot easier,

abit of white stuff pays there way now, you wont find many who work 40 hours a week now
