Most of the people I was around got me to liking the hounds and as I got in where I fitted I was able to gain value information,some are mentors and don't even know it. I have collected information from them over the years and used what was best for me. My brother and his friend were the most valuable resource for me. They soon let me know there was no such thing as a dumb question. I remember them showing me the pit bull gazette in 92 I believe with poncho on the cover, for some reason they already knew this dog would have an impact on the future of the breed whereas I had no clue. Nowadays honesty and dedication by both parties should make for a great team..jmo
