What does it matter what title you get as long you do what you love to do.
Not everyone got the space and time to create their own line of dogs.

Good points.

And some might be able to do so, but are crap at conditioning or taking care of their dogs.

True also.

Or then you have those dogman with a 4-6 generation of dofs, only to end up with average quality.

Not sure what a DOF is, but most people like to align "a lot of Champions" in their pedigrees, that have no rhyme or reason together, and wonder why nothing can win (or maybe get 1 out of 8 good dogs).

For now im happy racing, but if you do get to own that dog you dream about and which you have succes with, i can't imagine one wouldnt want to build around that dog. I would.

Nothing wrong with that.

Some people are to breed happy and/or are satisfied really quickly.

Works the other way too: some people are too show-happy, they run boatloads of dogs into the ground, treat them like shit, discard them when they can no longer win, and buy another dog with their drug money ... but don't know shit about diseases, medicine, breeding, nutrition, or anything else ... but they call themselves "dogmen" because they match lots of dogs

People who say, that aint no dogman because he never created his own line, are probably people that standing on the sideline.

And some people who call themselves "dogmen" sure ask a lot of questions and always seem to "need help" on a lot of different subjects as they pertain to dogs ...
