Their hunting instinct over rides training and common sense. Fantastic breed! |
I'm quoting myself here as he was out again last night for his last pee and the darn hedgehog was right in the middle of the lawn. He was about to attack when I called him off and he ran home. I'm putting a muzzle on him tonight for his own protection.
