Comment to Sharplaninac... and the variations

I don't necessarily agree that it is a terrible example of the LGD. I believe it is an great example of what is known as the ALARM lgd, meaning it will engage, but only to keep the animal busy till the big dogs get there... ALSO, it does do a great way of showing the difference between the alarm LGD and the VOLKODAV/VUKODAV lgd. It DOES illustrates the point i was making in another thread, that it takes a [color=red]SPECIAL[/color] dog to really go toe to toe with a wolf, and go all the way if need be. I DO agree in thinking that this dog would have stopped, or died, if the wolf really turned it on, HOWEVER, since that didn't happen, thinking that is only theory. As you know, too many people like to make too many ABSOLUTE decisions based upon what MIGHT have happened. I do, however, commend this old man for keeping that dog and feeding it, because sometimes you HAVE to accept something of lesser quality when dealt a certain hand, if it can still get the basic job done. Also, maybe its just me, but i think that that wolf in the video could be a wolf dog hybrid. Also, this video was a setup as well, a documentary on the SPP, or Srpski Pastirski Pas.
