• [quote=crnosrce1]Ummm.... did the wolf NOT stop fighting as well?? The job of the LGD is to protect the sheep or livestock... If all it takes for the dog to do that is fight a wolf and not kill it, then thats all the dog will do. These are not pit fighting dogs bred to fight for killing... These dogs, as well as the wolves they fight, understand DOMINANCE. In this video, the dog FOUGHT the wolf, Won the battle of dominance(as the wolf dropped its tail and pinned its ears back, while the dog kept its tail up high and was the aggressor), the man came out and shot the gun into the air, and the wolf ran away. He only lost 1 tiny lamb, not THAT big of a loss when taken into account the amount of other sheep around. So what is it that you are trying to say?? I mean, we all know where you are going with this, so why not NOT go there??[/quote] I'm not trying to take this anywhere.I just pointed out that the dog you said it can get the work done, is a MISERABLE lgd. One who would be considerd not worth to feed.Who would just be kept at the front door. In this case,the wolf stopped, but anyone should be able to tell by that dogs body language that he was very scared of the wolf.He WOULD stop if the wolf was aggressive. This wolf yelped on first contact.Most wolves won't do that. In a worst case,that dog would just flee and leave the flock unguarded. An LGD doesn't need to be a pit fighting dog to kill it's opponent. That dog CAME in a fight with the wolf. But he let the wolf go.It doesn't matter if the wolf stopped.A working LGD would probably stop if this was a dog vs dog fight,but with a wolf it shouldn't.This is simply a example of what a poor LGD is.
