They all could swim if they had to, like falling in a pond or river, but never dived in out of choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe its inherited instinct, dry country of origin and most water courses out there you might not make it out alive 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More so the bitches, so you have to make sure you don't over-encourage the guarding instinct or you could end up with a real arsehole. I'm sure some people want that, but I'd rather have a dog that's a pleasure to have around, not a constant worry. I know the mrs is safe with her around though. A friend used to have two that looked very much like yours, some of his friends used to ring the house first before calling round to make sure the dogs weren't roaming around and to put them in the back room but once they knew you they was sound one more than the other, good guards round the stables tho n loved ratting n abit of bushing , he owned some land that held a few hares and one of them would regularly put hares up while mooching about and even put a bend or two into a few so the hunting instinct must have still been there, he said that some of them are surprisingly quick and agile aswell as possessing plenty stamina. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
