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.
