This is a refreshing thread. a few guys were turning this subforum into a place where they were more woried about proving others wrong or looking like the baddest cowboy in the west than actually looking to engage in helpful conversations about dogs. I don't have the best dogs in the world, and I don't have the worst dogs in the world, but I sure am not arrogant enough to tell someone they are wrong when I have never met them, their dogs, or hunted with them.
The internet is always the place where the quiet guys are loud and the real tough guys are quiet. It's also a place where opinions can be sold as fact. I came here because I have questions about raising dogs, even though I have done it my whole life. When I saw some guys claim to have it all figured out, and talk about how they should get credit for making other people successful, it showed me exactly what they were really about.
I hope this subforum can rid itself of the egos that ruined it and turn in to place where nobody is afraid to ask a question or state an opinion.
