I just wanted to thank the people that gave me such good advice in this thread.
Some of the advice really "stuck" & was called upon in my first few months with my lovely young Vlcak.
Everything has been a collaboration, & the training/upbringing has been great fun. As Fede said, the Vlcak when brought up in favourable conditions can think itself out of trouble. This has helped no end in being able to form a trusting bond between us.
The bitch I have is 10 months old now, and so far has shown no aggression, & remarkable intelligence & intuition for one so young. She plays with kittens, dogs large or small. She plays with the pig on the farm & can be trusted with horses. When she is ever attacked, she will respond with passivity, a warning; or blistering pace and agility to run away.
In the city so far, she remains off the lead as my last dog did & responds well to sign language.
To invest such trust takes alot of energy, but I hope when she reaches maturity it will all have been worth it.
Thanks once again
