Traditionally, the brown dog is usually used for feral boar hunting. The white dog is used as a guard dog.
I do not hunt. I will be using them as pets. I always sight hounds were rather dumb, but I am surprised to see that they catch on to the training reasonably well.
My experience with Italian Greyhounds is that some of them are extremely trainable, have high prey and food drive --- and some of the more "sight-houndy" ones are extremely remote and not very trainable at all -- of course they are so small that it doesn't really matter. Bommi looks very trainable and sweet.
I have always wanted a big sight hound--but I've become old, so I guess it's not to be.
Ram, really good work! I love the enthusiastic "yes!" when Kari runs to you and the calm "nope" when he doesn't offer the right behavior. You've taught him so many commands already and he is pretty reliable on each one; you've done well.
Mam, thanks for your kind words. After watching the Michael Ellis DVD, I have realized that I never taught my dogs to look at my face. Wow , that was a revelation. Now I have started to mark every time they look at my face. I will need to work on it for a few weeks at the least. Also the touch command seems to be important. It can be a good alternative for the come.
I am yet to watch the power of training dogs with food and playing tug and establishing pack structure DVDs.
