for me, storny hit the nail on the head. the most important thing about
owning any dog is for the owner to be completely honest with himself regarding
his
OWN limitations. i know i would not be happy or comfortable with a number of
high prey dogs in my house because i would have serious doubts about my own
ability to control the pack if need be - but the next person might be perfectly
comfortable and adept at it.
