This type of thinking has been going on for decades, and there are plenty of examples of each. I do the best I can do for the few dogs I have now in regards to feeding, raising, schooling, etc. That being said, I don't love every dog I have. Hell, some I can't much stand, but that doesn't change the quality of dog they are. They don't need my love to perform to the utmost of their ability.
I've seen countless dogs come from men that do nothing but throw feed at them and work them when it's time. I've seen dogs from those guys win, lose, quit, take their death, etc just as much as the next man has seen it from others who pour their heart and soul into dogs. So, in the end, what difference does it really make? It doesn't make any difference. It's nothing more than a personal preference. I don't have an issue with people thinking a bond is important. I do take a little umbrage when people say a bond is a must as it most certainly isn't.
Well put wise
Very interesting post FROSTY PAWS, seen a dog man bringing his match dog into his bed room each evening in a keep, trying to make the 100% bond, only to have his dog quit in 20-30 mins for no reason, I think he listens to me a bit better now, after I told him bedrooms is were you bring your women , you can spend a lot of time bonding with the wrong dog.
The bond he made with that hound probably gave him an extra 15 mins.....lol....it's in them are not you can't give a hound heart.....
Next level ,that sure is a pretty dog !!
Looking like a young Gr Ch rattler in that picture thanks Big Unk..... He works like him too....
You cant give a dog heart, but you can pull a little extra out of him and that could be the difference between you pulling ahead or getting out pulled. When all things are considered equal, just about anything can tip the scale your way including your bond with your animal. If you picked the wrong dog, nothing is going to help you.
maybe you picked the wrong dog or maybe the dog is thinkin fk I got the wrong guy in my corner lol
i think there is just 2 things you can achieve with a good bond, it doesnt apply on all type of dogs though. 1: some dogs listen to voice commando's 2: keep the dog hanging in there when he is going deep, letting him know his friend is by his side. im pretty sure a dog wont make an extra scratch because of a good bond
