Guest english.ivy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 This was posted awhile ago and caused some conflict due to his dogs being off lead and near a road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebbles Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wow, what a happy bunch and enjoying every minute. Imagine being able to run your dogs like that and so obedient, roads weren't a problem. Noticed a really fat Daccie(?) near the end, owner needs to buy a bike lol.

pebbles Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Agreed about Sibes and obedience, I wonder if anyone is trying to breed out the independent / obstinate streak in Spitz breeds? Oh gosh, Sinta, I hope not! I've seen a couple of breeds' temperament changed over the years to suit people's ideas and they just aren't the same dog, seem to lose their character. There's always a suitable temperament for nearly everyone, why mess with a dog's characteristics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Independence is there for a reason May make it more challenging to get an obedience champion but useful in sledding from what I remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks idigadog, its interesting to read peoples responses to it Agreed about Sibes and obedience, I wonder if anyone is trying to breed out the independent / obstinate streak in Spitz breeds? This is something my OH and I argue about a lot. Huskies need that streak to help them survive. If you had a dog that just did as it was told, you might find yourself sinking in a lake of ice. I do know of a breeder- or a whole group of breeders who are in the process of developing a more obedience spitz type breed. I know some people dislike cross breeds etc, so i won't go too far into it, but they do seem to be doing right by all the dogs. However I know they don't race as well as huskies ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebbles Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 A breed I had many years ago, noted for their independent, stand-off attitude and while that could make them hard to live with, you accepted that was 'the dog'. Not a breed for a lot of people but they became a glamour status breed and their temperament was changed through selective breeding. Now they are just 'another dog' in the ring, gone is the haughty, majestic dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
