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.
