I call foul, respectfully. That is an old wive's tale. Old wive's tales are also why I am not married. Does a guard dog have to be crazy vicious and difficult to handle to be effective? Of course not. I can handle all my cats and they take mice and huge rats down often. My cow dogs are all nice and safe to be around but can be holy hell on a bad cow and don't yell or hit me or they will be hard on you.
I shoe and run into horse trainers who think the horse needs to be half crazy to run fast or work hard. Again, non-sense. They will say that cowboy horses were that way in the days of the open range. Looking at old pictures of cowboys stepping off horses to handle cattle and calves and cowboys holding horses in a remuda with a rope, there is no way they were that bad. A half wild horse would drag a calf to death (yes, it sometimes happened, even with a good horse) and holding horses back with a rope is a good way to injure a hand or lose a finger or worse. I know. I have seen people dragged and a finger pulled off. If you can hold horses back with a rope, they are pretty darn good.
A sweet cat can be holy heck on vermin; we have some. However, I think it is helpful not to over feed cats if you want them to mouse.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
