Not trying to start any trouble but my female husky/hunting dog mix, Gracie Lou can be left outside all day with them and no problems, the big boy Ozzy is an Alaskan Shepard and I have had him bring me injured baby bunnies and chipmunks for me to doctor up. He is the kindest soul I've ever met in a dog, he's only ever killed 1 thing in his life and that was a squirrel that bit his girlfriend Gracie in the face. I had a better pic of Ozzy with them but can't find it. They do little parades once in awhile, they take turns following each other around the yard. I have zero fear that he would harm a feather on them. I could coat them in gravy and tie treats to their feet and he wouldn't hurt them. His only complaint is they won't let him smell their butt. He'll lay down and they will lay down all around him and sun with him. Gracie does get a little antsy around them at times, she whimpers a few times, gave chase to Peepsalot one time but wasn't real serious about it. A small touch up with the training collar and she won't go near them now. I was very fortunate with my dogs. I get tons of complements in public about their good behavior. My trick, if you can call it that. Was that from the time they were pups,I trained them as a mother and alpha would in the wild, teeth nips to the ears, when they got into their teens and challenged me, I dropped to all fours got them by the throat with my teeth and pinned them into submissive while growling ferociously. They are pack animals, with pack instincts and it only took one time with each of them and they've never challenged me since. Never had to hit them , only took a week to train on underground fence, their danger command is look out and they run straight to me. I couldn't ask for better dogs, they know I'm the boss and love me and won't do anything to make me mad,c except toilet paper lol, just so much fun the growling is worth it I guess.
And the final photo is Gracie Lou, aka booboo. I love this picture, that look on her face is priceless. "Daa-aad can a pretty please eat just one, I'll be a good girl I promise, just one please" I did have her a lot better with them, but I had a really psycho welsummer cockerel that attacked everything from the big rooster to their hens to me, I tried breaking him but it would only take for a day and he was a jerk again. So I used him for guinea pig. I sat her in my lap and had him in the other hand and tried to have a face to face, I figured if she chomped him no biggie. So it was going ok, I even had her to the point where she'd hold stl and let him perch on her back, when A**hole (his actual name) decided, ok just gonna Bite this here dog for no good reason and she shook him off and growled at him which made him do the rooster drop kick maneuver to her face which prompted a very vicious sounding snarl. At which point A##hole flies to me for what I thought was protection. Oh my NO he's now biting the crap out of me and digging his claws into my hands... Needless to say he didn't finish the day. Figured if he was that damn crazy at 3 months old there was no hope for him at all. Gracie was perfectly adjusted to the birds before that now she's a little leary but even if she gets a wild hair, I don't clip wings and banties are great flyers.
