A lot of the dogmen of the past were true outlaws, hardcore criminals. If you crossed them, they'd kill you. Of course same holds true now. But I think there are probably better, more honest dogmen today then there were in the past.

Most outlaw type dogmen are a product of their own demise. And with so much information at the click of a mouse, it helps somewhat to keep folks in check.

The problem is the radical. (In)humane groups pimping these dogs like a two dollar ho. They are far worse on the breed than any peddler.

The breed has become appealing to people who would have never given them a glance before. We've went from poodle to pit bull as the all America dog. And it isn't without consequence.

My 2 cent rant for what its worth.
