[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1146757, member: 17767"] Gator, I don't know enough on this subject to answer your questions and the paucity of experience might make you wonder why I respond. The fact is: My circumstances might help you as much as the guy whose light far outshines mine. I don't know anything about dogs except that I am very fond of them. When I retired to my farm, I wanted two things; a ton truck and a dog. My brother who is an expert dog keeper: he is an employee of I think it is the AKC and is a coon hunting offical who goes to coon hunts all over the eastern US and officates the hunts. He told me to get a Blue Heeler and he told me where to get it. All I remember is I paid $350 dollars for the pup and I got it from a breeder he selected for me in Versailes, KY. I did not have to train my dog. One day when I first got my cows, I wanted to move them from the back of the farm to the front. I took my young dog and he knew more about moving them than I did. I smiled the whole way. He was in front of me keeping the cows going and all I did was watch. That was over 4 years ago. A lot of things have changed in the way I manage cows. The point is: A lot is bred into them. I still don't know anything about dogs but I am with him everyday and discipline is common sense. My brother gave me a shock collar and that is very helpful for some special applications. Warning: He might still pee on visitors, but like I have said: I get some visitors that I want to pizz on myself. :lol: [/QUOTE]
