It's safe to say that reputations are very important. However, if that reputation is tarnished by speculation and rumor brought on by people that have nothing better to do with themselves but to continue to spread lies, then I believe that the truth will come out in the end. Try walking in the shoes of someone that has had their life practically torn apart because a couple of people decided they don't think someone should be showing or have access to show dogs.
Relationships are very important and trust must be established for a veteran show breeder to place any show prospect. Hopefully, that veteran show breeder will be able to look past reputations that have been tarnished by people and give a well deserving chance to a hopeful show exhibitor. You never know...that hopeful show exhibitor may just do that veteran show breeder proud.
