Ha I was recently watching a show about dog training when the question was asked "What are the easiest and most difficult breeds to train?” The answer was that the labs, retrievers and border collies were the easiest and that the husky, chow, and some other were the most difficult. Heck, I could have told them that! My two dogs are a purebred Siberian husky female and a mostly chow male. Stubborn and willful are deeply imbedded in their DNA. The Husky has striking blue eyes and wolf like markings that make her so pretty I forgive her playful disobedience and total lack of protective instinct. She does indeed love to roam, and make me chase her if she sees me looking for her. So far she has always made it home though. I have her well tagged and a chip in her shoulder just in case. She loves people and other dogs, all other creatures are prey animals. Great dogs but you have to accept them for what they are.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
