You say they want to target dogmen and that the mag is aimed at all aspects of the dog game and that some things should be kept under the radar. The thing I don’t understand (I may be out of touch here) why have a website that ANYONE can go on and download a sample of the mag and why put it all over face book. The best dogmen I know don’t even go on the internet.
The very front cover refers to 1xW and ROM do folk not realize that the antis are not as stupid as you would want them to be! Page 2 has a ped with references to W, L and ROM ... and page 3 has an article titled Breeding The Match Dog .. I’m sure you see my point and I won’t go on.
Again this is only my opinion - I think that by putting these sorts of mags out and advertising in them people are making themselves targets for the tree huggers. I hope I’m wrong, but having known some good folk on the receiving end, having had all their dogs murdered, their family harassed by antis and having to watch them spend a fortune to keep themselves out of prison but get themselves in debt, it is not a situation I would wish on anyone.
The antis are good at gathering information, and we make it so much easier for them. They employ people that trawl all the internet sites gathering info and obviously have subs to pedigree websites and at least all the freely available magazines (and probably some that aren’t so freely available!). Some sites are so open at what they post it makes me cringe with embarrassment. Isn't it time we wised up, stop squabbling amoungst ourselves, stop giving out info so freely and worked more towards helping each other out and preserving (and hopefully improving) what we all love.
It just seems to me that sometimes we can be our own worst enemies.
