Can't necessarily agree with that, actually.
If I just fell off the turnip truck, then yeah, maybe question what I say.
But when thousands of people all over the world have used my book to their success, and I have actually done the research, then it is foolish to come at me like you did.
Almost all information comes from someone else.
Doc didn't invent dex, he didn't invent solu-medrol, nor did he pioneer any new scientific research of his own.
Neither did the instructors who taught him. Neither did the instructors who taught them.
The idea that, just because I too learned "from someone else" somehow discredits what I say, or somehow means I don't actually know what TH I am talking about, is absolutely asinine.
You didn't invent pit bulls, you didn't invent treadmills, leashes, the Cajun rules ... nor anything else having to do with these dogs ...
But that doesn't mean you can't, through research and trial, become knowledgeable about these matters. Does it?
So why do you think this doesn't apply to me?
I assure you my own brain works just fine .... far better than 99.99999999% of anyone who's ever called himself a "dogman" in fact
I guess you must think I am some brainless parrot "repeating information" without understanding what I am saying
Totally agree with you there.
My years in dogs have been spent schooling & breeding dogs, dogs that have won all over the world ... as well as researching the best methods to do things, and classifying it all together.
These methods have likewise worked all over the world, and there aren't many dogmen who can kiss my ass in any of these areas.
You are becoming proficient in matching dogs, and your record is excellent, so props to you in that regard.
But let me gently remind you that, just because you've won a few matches doesn't mean you have the right to talk to me like "I don't know shit" and you do.
I know who you're talking about, and hats off to you on that. But to compare that guy's ape-brain to mine is a pretty far stretch, don't you think
Okay, and for the record I admire your chutzpah
And you have had a lot of good suggestions here, so we'll just forget about the whole thing and be glad some good eventually came out of a bad start
