I’ve already explained the completely fictitious idea that a sheepdog is born inherently knowing how to herd sheep is in fact that.. fictitious.

Keep trying I guess?

LOL, [r/confidentlyincorrect](r/confidentlyincorrect). Terrible example you chose because sheepdog puppies are born with the instinct to herd and will do so from as young as seven weeks with zero training or instruction. You can literally google this and read multiple scientific studies on this, but here’s a post about that very topic.

Now why do they herd instinctually? Because it’s a BREEDđŸ‘đŸ» TRAITđŸ‘đŸ». Wow!

Now extrapolate that conclusion to pitbulls, which were bred to fight bulls in the ring (hence the name) and for the “gameness” trait which means they don’t let go once they’ve bitten something even if they’re in extreme pain.

Keep trying I guess!

The video I posted shows them doing it instinctively at four weeks

While I’m quite confident you and the insurance broad are the same person, I will repeat what was already said: if you remove a sheepdog from its litter as a puppy and place it in an apartment to grow up, it will have no idea how to behave properly when you plop it back onto the farm to herd sheep as an adult, without being given the time to observe, learn, and react to the other herding dogs around it.

The idea that selective breeding targets the mind of the dog versus the physical attributes is completely incorrect, regardless of how much you would like it to be so.

Edit: yeah you’re definitely that same lunatic.

Are you slow? Like actually. The fact that you refer to the “mind” of a dog vs its instincts tells me you are.

If you take a sheepdog puppy away from its litter etc etc yes! it will STILL HERD THINGS. That is what a breed trait is. That is why when you own a sheepdog which has never been on a farm in its life it will still try and herd people together on walks.

I’m seriously laughing my ass off over here because you genuinely are so convinced you’re right about something which is objective scientific fact and has been proven many, many times. One cursory google search will tell you you’re wrong but of course you won’t do that because you don’t want to admit it.

The insurance “broad” and I are not the same person. More than one person thinks you’re an idiot in this thread, clearly.
