I have always felt that if you don't earn the respect of the handlers that you went to the woods with, it matters not what your dog has won at the end of the night.
But that is not saying you won't fool the general public who knows nothing about you or your dog. I like a good dog as well as the next man but I will turn the other way every time when either handler, or hound does not meet my definition of a true sportsman!!
When that combination comes together in one package then true greatness can be accomplished, but without one or the other, these type hounds and handlers will only be a flash in the pan so to speak.
Now I am in no way an expert in this field, I am only stating what it takes to earn my respect when I am competing against fellow coon hunters.
