My experience with dogs leads me to a contrary opinion. I don't wish to argue, since you have your opinion and I have mine.

OK I won't argue but I've retrained stock-killing dogs and any number of trainers I've known have retrained stock-killing dogs. A pro sheepdog competitor I used to know had a great cattle working dog which was retrained from sheep.

About ten years ago, on Long Island, thee was a huge story abotu a pair of St Bernards that had turned on a group of 9-10 year old kids, severely bitign and mauling many of them. THe dogs belonged to a neighbor of thre of the kids, who had played with the dogs since they were puppies. The dogs had never displayed any aggression, inded, the kid's momfelt that the two dogs were like baybysitters for her kids...well, a huge hue and cry, the dogs are impounded, and a vetinary inspection revealed that the "litle darlings" had stuck several pencils deep into the dogs ears...They were destroyed anyways...

I agree. A dog that has killed stock is a danger to any other stock. Maybe not dangerous to people, but to animals.

As far as two dogs together roaming around--dangerous to animals AND humans.
