As with doctors, British farmers make their daily rounds too.

Just saw yet another post (softly) demanding that breeders breed out the utilitarian qualities of their breeds "because pets". All dogs should have the same basic temperament with a different look.
Nah, that's not it.
How about don't get a serious LGD if you live in an apartment? That seems like a better idea than telling the people who use LGDs on their farms for stock protection that their dogs don't have jobs anymore because people own pets. (Their example was a guardian in an apartment complex.) Working dogs are still a thing even if you don't see them. They are not irrelevant because the majority of people where you live own pets. This viewpoint is very Eurocentric and is usually held by Americans, and there's a general lack of education about dogs in this country that is for some reason, shoved onto breeders to fix.
If I wanted a generic Good Boy pet dog, I wouldn't own West Siberian Laika. But I value what makes this breed what it is, and it's a lot more than looks. I've said it many times and I'll say it again, even if I didn't hunt, which I didn't when I got Flint, I would still want this breed as-is with all it's spicy bullshit intact. That's what I like in a dog, and I am under no obligation to conform my preferences to what you believe dogs should be.

Peaches hasn’t left my side since I’ve been staying with mom. I keep serenading her with the 90s Alt Rock classic “Peaches” by The Presidents of the United States of America. I don’t think she understands the words but the tone is happy and it makes her tail go crazy.
As I was typing this, I realized I haven’t sang the new hit song about Peaches - the fuckin BANGER Jack Black did as Bowser. As soon as she wakes up from her 15th nap today, she won’t know what hit her.
