Simply put: All recognition aint good recognition..

I also look at it like this: If I don't know you, and you know something about me or my business that I dont WANT you to know or am uncomfortable with a stranger knowing, then either I have said too much or someone else has loose lips.

If i purchase an accomplished dog and the previous owners have made public the accomplishments I dont tell them not to do so. But I have left accomplishments off many public profile especially when those who had a hand in it did not see fit to make it public or when it was in my best interest

I agree with whats been said, Over year ago one was farmed out made it into a journal coveted by some( something i could careless about and avoid). No bragging was done about having good offspring and sibling of said hound and no promoting or posting them as " the brother of such and such" or the " winning sons and daughters of such and such". If and when an accomplished dog returns or is added to the program, it may or may not be online and may or may not have pull or hunt information listed for all to see. But a leak of damaging info will Never lead back to or originate with me.

Good luck to everyone. And there are some words to the wise on this thread...
