When I said that it doesn't work that way, I meant your choice of picking No 1. dog for breeding. Shepherds do not think that way. They actually do not care that much if dog doesn't bond to its flock as long as the dog doesn't do anything that could harm the sheep. And if that dog tends to be or is a great fighter and wolf killer, then he is the best one for them. That's how it works in the mountains and in the heads of shepherds and that has been their way of stud selection for ages. I know that they are risking to lose such a valuable dog in those fights and they are aware of that too, but they'll do it anyways. I have to give them credit for this, because that way of selection through the centuries built that famous character of those breeds, the character which makes them respected and popular in the whole world today, the character that leaves people (which are introduced to those breeds for the first tim ) stunned, amazed and overwhelmed. Thank you for respecting my opinion and you have your God given right to agree or disagree with it. :wink: Aleksa
