Anybody Heard of this Magazine

I got his email today.  They make some pretty big claims like the "largest" website and "largest read" magazine.  I never heard of the Bird Dog and Retriever News.  The site looks like state of the art from 1995.  You can read the current issue of the magazine on line for free if you can stand the bad scans, so I don't know who'd pay for the magazine.  Here's the note I got:

Are you having 2008 shorthair litters? We host the worlds largest hunting and dog website we also have the worlds largest read hunting & dog print magazine Bird Dog & Retriever News. You can read all our back issues back to 1992 on our website.

We also offer print ads from $270 a year including a website or link to your website. Get back to us if you are interested.

OK, just so you know, I spend about $800 per litter on "advertising."  Something to think about when you are paying for any puppy.  The breeder has to get his name out there.  So $270 is a lot for a magazine I never heard of, on a web page where it looks like you'll get lost.  And I have gotten some of my best and worst folks from the net.  An over-saturation with web advertising on my first liter left me sorting through dozens of folks who were a giant pain in the butt to deal with.  This entire site costs about $250 per year.

If it's something that folks read, I'd consider it, so please let me know what you think of the magazine.

Yes, I am having a litter this year.
