[QUOTE="Al R, post: 8211120, member: 7565"] I don’t think I’d cope with a Malinois, pure insane work rates! Must be an absolute animal in pens if taught right! Yeah the weight with the dogs is a big issue, huntaway 3 year old bitch is 42kg, if she has 3 big days in a row she gets sore legs, the Shepherd bitch is 35kg and 13 months old, at 8 months old we clocked her doing 27mph uphill The shepherd was originally bought as a housedog but she sees her friends working and started jumping field gates to help them out. So teaching her in the pens to not grip sheep as the drive to kill is high on their priority list, by muzzling her only when working for a few weeks it gave us peace of mind not to have to watch her continuously and she quickly lost the attractiveness of attacking/drawing blood. I let her go in a field the other day, not sure how to get a video on here. These 2 are best friends and go everywhere together, the collies think their odd 🤣[ATTACH type="full" alt="0544CE5A-74F7-465F-BEC6-341E8BF8A871.jpeg"]1045898[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="591E2238-4116-493F-A666-645C1E27289E.jpeg"]1045899[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
