I've been busy the last few days, and just got back to this.
Knockemdown, I'll try to answer your question the best I can.
The thread was about "dog aggression", sic'en a dog on a stray dog in my cattle, is diff, than two dogs fighting over a dead whatever in the feild, or at the tree.
First is expected, second not allowed.
Older dog protecting a weaker "pack member" also expected, and allowed, if justified.
Interesting story,"Saturday, a freind brought a heeler pup over to our house, and turned it out. Dog was typical Heeler,(half nuts)Don't get me wrong I have owned some great ones, but they are "diff". The pup ran up to my daughter, and knocked her down, trying to lick on her,not mean, just no manners. One of my pups heard the baby screaming,ran and throat latched the pup.(the whole thing took seconds, and no harm was done.)
Aceptable or not????????? (I say yes)
I guess what should have been clarified as the thread diverged into diff ?'s , is that in certain cases, it is fine for any dog to bite a human, or bite another dog.
I know my dogs claim this house when I am not home.My wife and daughter have free run, but even my freinds tell me that the dogs are diff, when I'm not around.
On the flip side, I have lost dogs in the desert, and one of the cowboys has brought them home. They say the dogs are big babies, and just happy to see them.
The ? about dogs having judgement, I think the anwer is yes,
