I'm open to the idea that they might not even notice the dogs and the success or failure of them may be irrelevant. But if the hype about LGDs is to be believed that doesnt just accedently happen. Wild breeding doesn't produce working dogs it produces pariah type dogs like dingos that don't work with people. If in reality LGDs just hang out near herds waiting for a calf to stray for them to eat but they are too afraid to attack the adults and are just a pack of opertunistic wild dogs defending their food source like inner city stray packs fight over the garbage cans, then I can see natural selection producing that. And let's clarify western doesn't mean stupid and eastern doesn't mean smart, I've run into that feeling a lot around here.
