My two cents...I am as dedicated as any greenhorn out there but to be honest you don't have to sacrifice everything for the dogs to make it work. I always believe in the saying..."there is no one way of doing something". I believe in having a strong family, healthy financial status , real friendships (don't have to be dogman), do my RESEARCH, a good dog program/setup (keep only a low quality number of dogs). Always looking for ways to improve my dogs, program/setup.

I do not believe in a total solo isolation in order to make things work. Sometimes it's good to have a moment away from the dog world.
