hey everyone, I just want to make 3 points.
1. This guy firstly is obviously biased and why any article would be written on him is beyond me. Firstly he has strong feelings towards war and the dogs use. And I can understand why he is afraid of the breed, any parent would feel that way after what happened. It's not logical it's instinct. So I understand where he is comming from.
2. This guy doesnt sound like he understands k9 behaviour. He never mentioned anything about the animals temperement. This animal could have thought itself dominant to the child and if it hasnt been around children much how is it to know how to react? And lets keep in mind it was only what 10 months old? How can you hold essentually another child responsible. Such a young animal and young child should be very carefully watched. I personally would be helping my 3 year old niece and nephew pat the dog and only for a short time. Children that age cannot help but give the dog a poke any more than a puppy giving a child a nip to see what happens. Thats how all babies learn.
3. Does this guy breed CWD's? Then he has no true understanding of the breed. Yes he can voice his fears, but he obviously has no experience with a group of cwd's so he can hardly be considered a good source of information.
I have carried on a bit but i believe all dogs come from wolves and all breeds needed to carry some level of aggression to perform there jobs. I personally think Kelpies should be watched carefully as they often are overly timid. They are cattle dogs so what is his piont? Sorry Sorry I will go
