I've got a herding dog that's instinct is to herd. He herds when I tell him to and doesn't when I tell him not to....that's a well trained dog. You keep talking about instincts. A pack dog needs to be trained to walk at heel and lie down....doesn't seem to me that requires a special breed.

If you want to talk high energy, I've got a border collie...he still walks at heel when I tell him to and lies down when he's told. Obviously you've never been around a well trained dog.

Possibly we should shut down all hunting then because it's all a pandora's box. Come on Dave./..we are the only mountain jurisdiction that doesn't allow it...I ask again why are we so different that it wouldn't work here.....
