[quote1255056507=Wolf] Because the CO is not an LGD. [/quote1255056507] I do agree, but I do not agree. It is a fact that most af the COs in the world don't guard livestock and they never did, I agree. But which breeds or types of dogs are the foundation of the CO? Gampr, Tushetian Nagazi, Georgian Mountain Dog, etc., etc., etc. the greatest (or among the greatest) LGDs; and all of them with low prey drive. So why the CO would have gotten his high defense drive from those ancestors but not the low prey drive. Who did the CO get his high prey drive from? Now besides teoretical points of view, my COs and all the COs I know (which are not that much I accept) have low prey drive but are terrific guardians, perhaps just a coincidence. Which percentage of COs that you know in person have high prey drive? Thanks hugo
