I don't think she understands the breeding of her dog if she feel decades (can't be precise as they are not my chosen breeds) of breeding can be cancelled out in 20yrs by adding a GSD
It is her choice to train her dog by any method she sees fit but her dog is genetically predisposed to chase and to deny this is just sticking your fingers in your ears and humming.
A dog only becomes a sheep chaser after it has chased a sheep

I dont know what you mean by my friends, im merely making my comments as you seemed to have as much input on another thread on breeders of boxers as any input I have shown in my last couple of posts on malamutes.

I only said you wanted to get a malamute because i read this somewhere

Since seeing The Lost Boys in 1988 (when I was 12) I have wanted a sled dog like Nanook.. I grew up thinking he was a husky!! It wasn’t until I had met and married Alex and had my son Ciaran that we decided to add a dog to the pack. I wanted a Rottweiler, he said “No WAY!!”, he wanted a Border Collie, I said “No Way!!”

A few days later I told him about my love of sled dogs and showed him the video of Lost Boys.. He agreed they were stunning and we decided to “go for it”

But youre right, this thread isnt about you or your choice of dog AND its not about Sally or HER CHOICE OF DOG

its about smacking - or ecollar which is worse - Sally thinks she is doin the right thing by her dog and its her choice so she has decided to use one in the past, its her choice that she has chosen the typ of dog she wants and her reasons can be no less worthy than shes seen one on her favourite kiefer Sutherland film - her every word has been scrutinised on this thread and half of what has been discussed has no more to do with the subject of the thread than the last few exchanges from either of us.

As for my friends I dont know who you mean as my circle of friends are away from forums, people I share different interests with such as football and helping raise public awareness of people suffering from degenerative diseases.

So the GSD in the breed origin cannot have an influence on his ability to be trained around sheep - because that's rubbish, but the Mal and Husky in it WILL make him more likely to have bad recall and high prey-drive? Why are the mal & husky traits always seen as most influential by mal owners I wonder?

Oh lookie another quote from my website LOL.. yeah I am sure your friends fired some quotes at me from there too LOL You really don't need to quote it to me..I did write it..and I do know WHY I got my dogs thank you.. They are a lifelong ambition and challenge to own and I would have another 6 in a second because I know their traits and I know how to deal with them.. such as ON leads, AWAY from LIVESTOCK etc.. mostly this was the first thing I learned about them..amazing what research can do..

Oh and it wasn't Keifer Sutherland (he's a bit old for me sorry.) It was Corey Haim

However.. Thank You Elaine you are soo right..

The issue on breeding boxers was more about HOW it was being done, not that it was being done..
