I stopped reading this thread because of all of the politically motivated crap that some people were talking , but I like the sarcasm in this post.My dog clocked in at 18 kilos , from which I deduced that at such a moderate weight , offset against all the hard work that he does for little feeding , compared to a 25 -28 kilo dog eating you out of house and home to maintain it's superior bodyweight for no extra work , makes him one very efficient dog.
I now intend to have a pack of dogs weighing no more than 18 kilos , and I reckon that I'll be able to carry extra dogs on the same acres.
Jack Russel sized dogs, herds of Dexter sized cows and Icelandic sized ewes are the only chance farming has of a future.
After that it will be time to concentrate on the size of the farmers themselves, anything over 100kg should be culled as it is too big to be efficient, because they eat too much.
Thank goodness I only clock in at 93.
