That's way back but the more I think about it the date was maybe more mid 70's and the father of this dog was, if I'm not mistaken Enno v Antrefal.

This has been a nice thread for sharing ideas ..
K9L1 Yes species that form social packs are interesting . Yes fear , is comunicated chemically , with intention of removing unpleasentness ,and signaling distancing but the opposite is true too . Pheromones are given off chemically for the opposite ,with the purpose of pleasently attacting. I often said the understanding , teaching and interacting of dogs is Zen ....There lies in dogs too , Ying/ Yang.
BE , good comment ... And I add ... so do children !!! And in today's world, I find this more and more ,to be the case , just saying ..

My own experience when tracking multiple suspects is the dog has a tendency to stay on the track of the person who has the most to lose if and when the suspects separate (shooter, driver, aggressor, etc). This may be contributed to the dog’s association with the fear scent and the elevated levels these suspects may have. I say tendency, as this is not always the case and the dog may elect to follow one individual when they separate based on the same factors when practice tracking with multiple track layers.

Your anti prey comments are inaccurate IMO. Firstly, recklessness has to be operationally defined. What is considered reckless to one person might not mean reckless to another. And I would argue that hunt and prey contribute to recklessness. Some KNPV Mal X's with extreme prey and hunt make spectacular, reckless entries on the courage test. Prey drive is useful in teaching a dog the fundamentals of biting so the dog becomes very proficient at it. It is also used to channel from defense to prey, which builds a dog's confidence and develops his fighting abilities. To mention a group of aggressive soldiers has nothing to do with dogs. They could have simply been psychopaths.

Duke.... with much repsect , you oftensurprise me with some of you commentary because I know you are reasonably expereinced. The type of aggression in the post toic is genetic based . Aggression : rhetorically , is this not based on genetics ? Is not " Aggression , in all it's kinds and amounts , one of the Attributes and Traits that define and make up the overall expression of Temperament ? Of course the answer is unequivocally YES !!! Duke .... I am dumb founded how you can say that this Reckless Aggresion is not genetically based. Although all behavior has a gentic and as well a learned / environental component . However Aggression in and of itself is directly linked to the autonomic nervous system and to the over all make up of that dog or that individual person for that matter [ that is why it is part of temperament ** ] .

Here is a link to what I consider some reckless entries in KNPV. While they are impressive, it only tells you so much about the dog such as their level of prey drive, commitment to the bite, agility and possibly frustration aggression related to extreme prey drive.
