What a BRILLIANT idea! Not only convince animal control but also those
owners who say in all dumb-ass sincerity "My dog would never do that,

sheep......"
I wonder how much they cost.
Ours was pretty cheap at Wal-Mart.

What! You complete twat. There is a hell of lot of difference between
raising stock on prairies and in the home counties on the UK. God help
protect the rest of the world from cowboys. |

thats not necessary in this group.
but for some perspective : - it was mostly pioneering (make that hard
working and tough ) Brits from the hardest parts of this country to survive
in who made up the genetics of those who did so well in your prairies.
The conditions their parents came from made the praires easy living. !!
The fact that there are now different people who have different values is
something that we have been able to respect in this global group for many
years. Not all agree with others way of life or take on things, but we have
managed to do with without being personally rude.
It would be nice to keep it that way .
