to me a dogman is just someone who works to improve the breed and takes good care of his dogs in the process. Someone who takes damn good care of his dogs but does nothing to improve the breed is not a dogman and someone who's great at breeding best to best and producing good animals but who allows his dogs to live in squalor and treats them ill is not a dogman. My grandfather was called a great dogman, in the greyhound world, and while it's more cherished in the apbt world, i think that it is quite a compliment in any breed...
