Re: [PyrNet-L] Fw: CHAT: Bev/Tennessee field dogs

["Beverly Coate" <bcoate@cwis.net>]

Well, that depends on what you call "wild".  These are dogs that have been
raised by the old rules that have been passed around for years and years
among livestock producers.   These are all 4 working dogs ranging in age
from 2 to 5 years.  None of them had been touched by human hands since
puppies, but had been guarding livestock until the man needed to cut down.
