I agree with you...but I'll add that a smart greenhorn will know how to spot a dirtbag dogman quickly and stay away from them. Newbies that has no goals and standards will not tthrive. We can't aways blame the dirtbag dogman. :) Most newbies are monkey see monkey do...too in a rush to get dogs from just anyone and do something with them. Only a few will put in the effort and work...do their homework/research and strive for top class competition.
Yep.....also a careful greenhorn will struggle to get "in" with the right people simply because the right people are careful who they associate with....it can be tough for a good up and comer who may have great intentions etc.But can not find the right people to associate with.
