[QUOTE="Smudge1791, post: 3375166, member: 47310"] If they grip ewes in training or during close work that's a good start, bring the command on when they grip. If they tend to eye more, winding them up and chasing down a single animal may be your only way forward. It can be quite sensitive as it can bring out the worst in them. My Huntaway x Collie has such a soft mouth she's never drawn blood and will catch and carry young lambs back to me, while in the same breath hold onto a ewe and drag it to the floor, where as my young kelpie will bite into anything that gets close to her and slice it open, not so good on the lambing fields. All down to the animal IMO. [/QUOTE]
