One of the biggest slights dogmen of today are faced with more so then those of yesterday is public awareness, law enforcement, animal rights groups and the judicial system handing out prison sentences that surpass in many cases that of sex offenders. In North America this makes it extremely hard to keep larger yards, harder to school younger dogs and even harder to travel freely and match into the best from different areas, let alone countries. All of this hinders dog and dogman alike which is why we are seeing such a rapid progression in top caliber dogs and dogmen overseas (where animal rights and laws are not as strict) to the point North Americans are importing dogs from countries that not so long ago the exported to.

All of that said I have know and have known men from every era and now as in then, there will always be standouts in both dog and man but for the dogs if I had to lay my money on a top 10 of the modern era in their prime vs a top 10 of the past, I would beat on the dogs of today to get the more W's.
