Expand Couldn't agree more. That old nature/nurture debate again. I remember reading an article about Scottish shepherd/sheepdog trainer John Holmes in which the author put forward their opinion that what made him such a good dog trainer was not so much the tractability of his collies, but rather the fact that he could get such good results with a wide variety of breeds. Actually, I've just remembered, I think that article may have been written by Old Phil (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Phil). With my first three kelpies, I was complimented once by a kelpie breeder when I pointed out that mine were all calm and easy going. I said I thought it was because of their breeding, but she said it was more likely to be because of the way I'd raised them...then I got Ned...and I have to admit that, unfortunately, I was right! 2 Quote Link to post
