    I'm sure there's more to it. I'm going nuts trying to find that study again. They laid out the specific parts of the brain that were encoded to each of the genders contributing to the offspring. I would think that it would take a little investigation to sort out the specific contributions as far as temperament, emotional reactions, etc. In my experience with hounds, if you've got a sire that fights at the tree your going to end up with the same in the offspring. The first line of dogs that I had any extensive experience watching were bad about fighting at the tree on bear. The first fe

    Depending on what age the pup is I like to show them "go " at the same time if not before insisting on "no" By that what I mean I don't want to quell its prey making state of mind a young dog goes into when it approaches anything , the dog makes associations positive and negetive when an active state of mind is switched on So , sheep , cattle rabbits cats dog all switch on an active state , if I spend the first few months correcting the little f****r , he may be already in conflict with me when he's finally told "go", And when he finally gets his teeth into the real thing , is he going to

    Got to be a fair animal the coyote, if it can out run most dogs and fight like a bulldog and live in some of the hardiest environment, a good one would surly test the metal of all hard bitten mutts after/ half/ mile chase , it's a lot of animal to subdue after an exhausting chase

    I questioned a highly ranked sports dog competitior in the past about aggression issues in keeping 5 entire male shepherds, and his take on it was if the pup was never whooped on or had negitive feed back from an adult the pup was normally less inclined to express aggression needlessly against another dog when it matures , its something that stuck with me as I know cases of pups been whooped on by a type of dog where after lookin back, what started was a vendata against a whole breed of dog

    Pond

    Casso replied to lurcherman 887's topic in General Talk

    koi are just a normal carp with a fancy coat on, carp live in filthy water and tolerate lower level,s of oxygen than most freshwater fish,s, so when a spotty teenager in a garden centre tells you you need the all singing super deluxe only available from me koi pump it's just a sales pitch the only reason koi keepers like there ponds crystal clear is so they can see the fish, the fish would be happier with a bit of colour in the water if they could speak, so don't panic to much Like that post , thats a good post and the main different between knowledge and wisdom

    Temperament is something that develops as a dog matures mentally , it's not static in a pup Unless I would guess she exhibits a sort of behaviour in some environment you feel is not acceptable for you Best of luck for the pup

    Trump Under Fire

    Casso replied to kanny's topic in General Talk

    Whatever side your on or whatever your politics , he's beginning to stink the place out But did anyone really expect Trump to be squeaky clean, I can live with not liking him personally or his politics but Jesus wept the dogs on the street can see he's slowly cracking , he's all over the f***ing place he's way to brittle for that position

    An over stimulated pup has to respond to how it feels and it's first point of call is to grab something , At that age, its a phase it's going through but effort can be put into reducing the source of stimulation, inside calm , outside play, always Don't be fussing/ playing in the home , it shouldn't be felt to be a play area for the pup, Dogs make associations between different environment due to how it makes them feel which means that if the pup has a history of f***ing about in the house when he walks back into the same area he becomes stimulated through physical memory/ he feel

    All the dog lacks is a bit of experience bud, Never been able to teach a dog to hunt better than it's own innate hard wired ability

    Superb analyzation. That's exactly how my old dog was. But you explained it FAR better than I could have! Lol ?

    When a dog is worked it learns to contrast between prey animals Prey animals that offer more resistance to subdue are often placed higher in a dogs choice for prey making The humble rabbit can be frustrating for a higher drive dog, because what it really wants to do is sink its teeth in and shake it and the rabbit wont evoke the feeling when it learns to contrast On the other hand bigger prey can have the right balance which a dog needs to truly fulfill its predator role and feel real flow because it offers more resistance to overcome, thereby the dog needs to put more energy int

    Very good Two dogs together become equal and opposite of each other, easier for dogs to live together that way , Mother Nature chooses social first, genetic comes second

    Give us a for instance bud , aggression can be a blocked attraction , put it this way, a pup has to act when stimulated , it can't not do something, it normally plays out that when stimulated there's a lot of jumping round , shaking off,grabbing , chewing on , you know yourself , basically the energy caused by stimulation has to go into some sort of canine behaviour , normal shit When a dog is corrected too much , confined , approached by something strange, it feels resistance but it also feels stimulated but it can't make a normal connection do all the normally doggy stuff of shaki

    What I'm ultimately talking about is focusing a dogs prey Instinct on its owner Every dog is interpreting the world through its prey instinct anyway, what where and how do I make prey is second to none for a working dog We have been tuning dog instincts into whatever we wish for a very long time and no other animal will respond like the dog even our closest relative the chimp would rather rip your arm off than follow where your pointing it , The main issue I pick up from threads like this is that you have to enforce yourself on the dog as if his wild side is not quashed he will

    When you say you use force mickey , what exactly do you mean , to train or install fear? I use a correction to redirect when more mature but even that correction has been primed to induce a certain mindset in the dog An example of it is a pop on the long line the dog has on while out , he knows the chuck on the line correction means something good is following it changes his mindset and tunes him in My reading of the dog is the more domance based you make the training the longer it takes the effing dog to truly tune into you I don't want to spend my time stopping the dog

    That's an amazing bit of footage, he had no way of ever succeeding there he looked emaciated and weak but was still attracted to the buffalo , the power of hunger eh

    The big thing for me with bringing up a pup is to build trust and manage him so I don't have to correct him, Most of the traditional methods work but I want his prey instinct focused on me first , I don't introduce him to prey until I have a good handle on him first Building trust is a first priority and you can't build that if I have to keep correcting him for showing interest in other things so I manage him so he can't f**k up Put it this when a dog is energised hes expressing predator energy, energy in every case can only flow from the predator to the prey, not the other way rou

    Gameness is only a marking point of an extreme drive to make contact , the word Drive is misleading in itself. A highly driven dog is still only trying to make contact same as any pup when it is stimulated it grabs and shakes it out, it's a huge emotional stimulation that needs addressing , Pain is just information to a dog the bigger the heart the less effect it has under duress Dogs are trained to accept pain as part and parcel of the feel good process of making contact in protection work but give it a slap when sitting laying up at home and you'll have a different effect on the
  25. Casso
    For the subject matter of Drive what your really talking about is Heart, How much does the dog want it, in every sense it comes down a willing to make contact with whatever the object of desire may be Funny enough the test of heart is relatively the same in two completely different dogs, with a running dog how much physical difficulty can he overcome and still want to give chase and with the pit is he willing to scratch/ make contact after shipping an amount of physical hardship The simple gesture of movement under duress is what defines heart /gameness / drive
