We simply disagree. People being "happy" with a man's dogs means nothing. Hell, there are millions of people who are "happy" with pomeranians.

What we're talking about is producing seriously good dogs that truly affect the game. And while Mayfield may have bred some good dogs, his influence was negligible when compared to his peers about whom he speaks (Carver, Tudor, Boudreaux). Mayfield's influence as a breeder was nowhere near these individuals'.

Does that make him wrong? Not necessarily. I am sure there is merit in some of what he says, but I sure wouldn't be hanging on his every word like you seem to.
