He didn’t sell dogs to support himself.

HAHA sounds like a bad Ninja movie

My thoughts exactly.

The truth is, any line is valued "to others" only insofar as it has benefited others (or if what it has accomplished sets it apart from most).

If you keep your dogs to yourself, do nothing with them, allow others to do nothing with them (and/or they're not good enough to do anything with), then OF COURSE they won't be valued by others ... why should they be?

As far as "what KZB has accomplished," the same logic holds.
Anyone can "live on a hill," breed dogs, not let them out, not care about titles/accolades, etc.
But don't call this an "accomplishment." Label it as it is: doing nothing with one's dogs.

PS: Again, I would love to see 10-20 dogs like Hobo Jack, plus a boatload of winners, and hear about ACTUAL accomplishments; that would be something worth writing about.
