I understand what you are saying, but my experience with an Alsation 
rounding up sheep in the field next door to my house says that you can 
change the course of history. _-)

The ram was doing an excellent job of rounding up the females behind him 
to protect them, but a female neighbour was extremely upset and asked me 
to do something about it.

If I had had a shotgun, it would have been a simple matter of shooting 
the dog.  I didn't have one, so I went back home to fetch my own well 
trained* dog to get the attacking one to lose interest in his prey. That 
one worked.

Yes it was a risk that my dog and the other one could have turned into a 
hunting pack, but I had put many hours of training into my own dog.

* hundreds of hours involved when I look at it, and well worth it. I has 
that dog responding to hand signals too.
