[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1795771, member: 32879"] I appreciate a good dog as much as anyone and do not doubt the testimonies of their effectiveness, I have seen it many times. Still, for most people, unless they have the time to really keep the dog busy with work, they can be more trouble than they are worth. When I first moved down here on the farm I had a neighbor who was a genius with work stock including dogs, horses and mules. He was a gruff man's man, a survivor of the worst of the Battle of the Bulge. Sometimes he would hit the bottle a little, and who could blame him. He sort of took me under his wing and my Dad loved him. I've seen tears come to his eyes after a dog or mule displayed real heart and grit in doing his job. Anyway, he always said that you just do not see good broke mules or dogs anymore (this was the early 1970s). People just do not put in the time it takes to make them so. [/QUOTE]
