I want to BUMP this thread. I love the movie Snatch.
I have started training my Dane to "hit". He has taken 1 squirrel so far. We have livestock, so I don't want him touching our things, but squirrels mock him. I don't turn him on to those as he can take my fence down or completely clear it.
I am using his love of squirrels to train him though. Great Danes are notorious for leaning on you. To combat this I stand on top of him with him between my legs and I lean on him This way he gets his scritches and ears played with and we have the same viewpoint. When I find something I line him on it and send him like I would my lab for a duck. He doesn't care about eating the prey and he isn't a fan of "retrieving". I think I am going to leave it that was as I might want him to hit a hog and I don't need him trying to return it to me. Went fishing again this week. He just does DAG things. I don't think it is legal for him to be off leash on public lands, but we aren't near anyone when I take him off lead and there is 1000s of acres. It hasn't been an issue and we do see other dogs off leash. He is highly socialized now, but I still use caution.
Patrick. He'd LOVE to hit a rabbit and there are plenty around here. I've considered raising them for food and to sale, so they are still off his list.

If you think you are in charge, try bossing another man's dog around.

I've airways heard that and if you have to tell someone you're their boss....
I really just love animals. My buddy has a pet cow at his house. My Dane tried to get her to chase him. 700lb? baby.

Yes, I can certainly see the husky behavior in that border collie/husky cross.  Lovely dog!

Minka ! A glamour portrait.
Long ago, in the '70s, Minka caught a rabbit across an ice glazed corn field.
From a standing start, from 150 yards away.
She was fast and agile, bred for hunting... rabbits.
Amazing stories of dogs and man.
What would we do without dogs ?
Cats.. lol.
