I started in the dogs about 16yrs ago, but with back yard bred dogs. I did a couple breeding about 2 yrs after i started, but not really any good ones. I competed alot locally and had a big mouth, and one day my mouth ran me into a real bulldog. Needless to say i was in aww and had to have one. I did some research for a few months and bought my first game bred dog, it took me 4yrs to be comfortable to do another breeding, which was a successful one.
