[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 548406, member: 57"] it IS lifethreatening. This dog is the one my dad brought home that he found on the back 40 in a ditch collapsed, starved to death. he literally could not walk or stand. he brought him home to me and we fed him and now hes about 100 lb Black Lab x Rottweiler (i think). Hes extremely energetic and will chase anything that moves. The first incident, i was way back in the pasture feeding a new calf a bottle of colostrum and my mother had let him out for a run. well he came found me and while i was feeding the calf he came up and grabbed the calf by her back end and started shaking it before i even knew he was there. i was cussing at him and yelling and beating him and kicking and i nearly got stampeded by 500 cows b/c of him. the cow herd is what got him to let go. later on a couple of weeks later i had this same calf and its dam in the pen b/c she wasnt taking her calf and there was another pair that the cow wasnt taking that calf either (she just decided she wanted someone elses calf instead) and the dog got in the pen and chased THE SAME calf he got the first time round and round and got it down and shook it again before i was able to beat him off. he's like a BIG puppy but he minds fairly well except when something runs from him he completely tunes me out. he just never has had any discipline, apparently. now when i let him out he just runs around the yard harassing the other dogs that are in the fenced back yard and he never has gone off without me before, unless he is coming to find me. ive been putting the electronic collar on him a few days (he would totally hang himself if i left it on him allday--HYPER!) but i havent zapped him yet. yesterday, when i let him out he did his normal thing and then all of the sudden hauled butt out across the road (hes never even gone out to the road before) and went tearing down the road. now i just put some cows across the road and there are some smallish calves over there so i went after him on the fourwheeler assuming he was going to get in there and chase those calves. Luckily he went past the gate but he was on somethings trail. ..probably mine b/c i had just been over there checkin the cows and the hog trap but its not like he didnt know where i was bakc in the yard, i was in plain sight. so hes running around spazzing out about 300 yards away across the hay field and all of the sudden this big doe comes tearing out across the field chasing him. she chases him and gets fairly close and he never notices and i figure hes going to find her baby and rip it up so i take out after him. when the doe hears me on the 4wheeler she runs back to the woods. so i finally get the dogs attention and he comes running after me and when we get to opposite side of the field (about 300 yards away) the doe comes busting back out of the woods chasing me chasing the dog! you can imagine was running thru my mind, lol. so then the doe passes me and right on the dogs tail, only about 30-40 feet behind him when he notices he is being chased by a deer. so he turns around and chases the doe and the doe jumps the fence and gets in with the cows. so then the dog is trying to get in the cow pasture.
