Me, my family and my dogs have permission from all our surrounding neighbors that we can be out on it as much as we want, especially the GP. We do own most of the land that the dogs would go run on at any given time and but the surrounding owners have given permission, happily. Seriously, there are no houses for miles and miles and the dogs aren’t going miles and miles. If I did NOT have permission I would agree but I do. They aren’t running amok, why do you say that? They’re going poop, trotting around and then returning to sleep on the porch. The only wildlife out there is some gophers and they are going to be smarter than the dogs any day.
Do a PSA if you want but don’t apply it to me when you DO NOT KNOW.
Epona, I do realize that about GP’s, which is what I meant by getting a lot of exercise walking these boundaries with her! In fact, I named her Boundary. :lol:
But GP’s can and will work by themselves very well. There are a few ranchers and a Hutterite Colony here that have GP’s out with their sheep 24/7 and they are basically wild animals. Never been touched, raise litters of pups wild that stay with the sheep and do a good job against the wolves and coyotes in the area. That’s not how I want my dog to roll but it is very much possible.
