It is a huge problem. It's funny you bring this up. Just this morning I had some young guys come out to the house and we talked about this exact thing. I know things (life) happen and that's just the way it is. I recently had it happen to me. I wanted a puppy bad but things happened and I just absolutely couldn't swing it time or money wise but I didn't let them think I was gonna show and not go either. I at least let them know when the pups were born to not hold one for me. Not continue thinking that I was gonna be there come time for them to go. It bleeds over into hunting too like Mike said. Be it no call no show, not taking care of their dogs, or hunting where they know better than to hunt. Work ethics, what's that? They don't care if they half ass a job and their name is on it. They think they got away with doing a little work for the same money they would've got paid to do it right. They think their employer owes them something more than the wages the agreed on when tree hey got hired. My way of thinking is that my employer owes me an honest days pay for an honest days work or vise versus. If my name is on it then I want it right. People these days are cowards. Social media is their back bone. They would never say to a persons face what they will blast on the social sites. They are quick to judge, and even quicker to tell it when in fact they don't have the slightest clue about a situation they are tenth party to. I had a "friend", his son has my name for a middle name. He had a litter mate brother to my old Yonder gyp thas so much of my yard goes back to. He was gonna part with this dog and asked if I was interested. Of course I was and set a time to meet up. I was going to buy the dog for his asking price, no buddy deal. He no called no showed me 3 times. Then to add insult to injury he sold him to another guy for the same money and that guy let a bulldog kill him a month later! Talk about pissed off. I know exactly how you feel old man. I try really hard to mentor these young guys, more by example than verbally but I tell the ones I think will listen. I made a friend once because he baught a pair of dogs that another guy got from me. The guy hadn't had them long before his wife decided he wasn't going to keep hog hunting. He put them up for sale and this guy called asking questions about them. He told him look I honestly can't answer the questions you have but the guy I got them from can call him. He did and I told him everything from A to Z. He called back a month later and said that I was the first person that had told him exactly what the dogs were and was honest. He said that they were exactly to a tee what I said they were and he wanted more of them. We became good friends and he later gave me a job.
