One a serious note this time Alan.
I don’t know all the details on what has you frustrated but I am with Mr. P. on this one.
I read in a “best seller” one time that said “THE MEEK WILL INHERIT THE EARTH”. I believe it! I bet that includes good dogs also!
I have been around the dog drama all my life Alan. You can’t get away from it in a social setting (even on the WWW) no matter what kind of dogs you run. The best thing to do with what is frustrating you is to just ignore it when you can’t get away from it and defend yourself or your friends when you need to.
I have travelled the world for over 20 years now meeting many interesting people. Some of the most respectable, honorable, God fearing people I have run across were dog hunters. Some of the worst lying, underhanded, back stabbing, thieving, people I have ever run across were dog hunters also.
It takes all kinds brother.
PS. My reputation is ruined now that everyone knows one of my hunting buddies runs a hound.

Thanks! lol
