Lewis, I agree with you, infact, if one reads the book Gladiator Dogs by Dr Carl Semenic, one will find his statement that when he first investigated the breed in the 1970s, "No one at the time spoke of hog catching." My first AB, a Kershner/JDJ has been used by me to round up and catch my goats and was self taught as well as a powerful protector against most any intruder, man or beast. However, the term "Off Switch' as used by AB people describes control of the drives that are only needed when needed. As LSGs, it is more important to keep the livestock calm, as a stampeed will kill more livestck than a preditor. A calm thinking type dog will save the most livestock. Many AB breeders can not distiush drive from heart. In the box, way more game breed APBTs won from heart, not drive.
