All our racing lines last year used the Eskimo hook toggles and most of the training lines. <br />I ditched the 'no neckline' concept. I think having necklines on keeps the dogs where they are 'safest'. <br /><br />KarenKaren Ramsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545806535358579374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960268082908671136.post-88072093792631766162011-10-15T22:15:12.505-06:002011-10-15T22:15:12.505-06:00Great pictures as always- but I was curious as to ...Great pictures as always- but I was curious as to why you don't use the toggles and "no-necklines" setup anymore?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960268082908671136.post-68847278441528958612011-10-15T12:20:24.674-06:002011-10-15T12:20:24.674-06:00I like your Post Office.

That fence wouldn't stop my dogs for example, if they were not under my voice control...And just like you said, they always come "after" us, either with curiosity or to protect their calves. Which freaks out my herding dog (the GSD) and just makes the Sibe even more curious! LOL. I'm always on-guard now for the unexpected cow or donkey pasture on our long off-lead walks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960268082908671136.post-83081924685811697932011-10-14T07:19:15.000-06:002011-10-14T07:19:15.000-06:00Wow!

I love seeing them 'seriously' work. compared to herding working breeds, they're so different but they do indeed work and i love to see them in that mode. I've always wondered how it worked with so many "sibes!" I can only handle ONE! LOL. But I so love the breed. And it fascinates me to see them resist temptation while working. As an owner of a Sibe (and a GSD) who wrestles with spotless obedience in the Sibe (she's actually very well behaved even off-leash, but it takes tons of work and consistency), it's wonderful to see how a new sibe can progress into making the right decisions while working. like steering away from the cows and moose. wonderful. Now if i can just get mine to do that with cats... sigh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960268082908671136.post-27133867205506965952011-10-13T23:04:43.241-06:002011-10-13T23:04:43.241-06:00That was a nice place and they all look energetic,...That was a nice place and they all look energetic, have a safe trip!<br /><br /><br />--------------------------<br /><a href="http://itsallaboutpets.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">It's all About Pet Fences</a> | <a href="http://www.petstreetmall.com/dog-fence//" rel="nofollow">Dog Fence</a>Shane Kent Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739602501678343857noreply@blogger.com
