Britster, your theory that the "Pack Leader Theory" has been proven to be incorrect, could you name those sources. I would like to read those reports, I have been in the dog game for about 50 years and I have seen just the opposite. As a child my Father raised and trained field dogs. I personally raised and showed numerous breeds of dogs for the show ring, for over 30+ years. I never bred dogs to sell, I only raised dogs for the show ring. Granted they were large breed dogs, the first small dogs I owned was a Bichone Frise which I had for 12 years and now an over sized Yorkie. But actually just about all six month old puppies pull the same behavior. |
