Hi Stacey and Desiree :D thank you for all the wondeful information. I am currently volunteering at an animal rescue shelter where I get first hand experience with handling many different kind of breeds. They have different levels of training wherein one learns how to walk dogs, how to socialize and rehabilitate them and canine behavorial training. It's proved a boon. I have started this well in advance so I would be better poised when I'm actually going to bring in my new members. ( I hope I never ever see a CO there). On another note, do you think a CO and a Tsang Khyi could get along together if raised as pups ( both being males) ? ( that would be a deadly pair of gaurdians) Stacey: a slight correction: Although my dog is in India, I am presently in Indiana(USA) ( hence the stray dog issue) and my folks are taking good care of the my Bhotia, I would hope to relocate to Europe in the near future, hence this research well in advance. Thank you for comments and understanding. It really goes a long way in shaping my thoughts about this magnificent animal. Best, Vidya :D
