Soapweed, I too, hate to belabor the subject too, BUT a REAL GOOD cowdog would have stayed waayyyyyyy back to where he/she was almost invisible, but within hearing in case you called them up.
Our dogs used to be at the top of the hill when we were at the bottom, they would be at the bottom of the hill when we were a long ways across the flat. They would get behind sagebrush and you would never know they were there. Unless you needed them and then they would come up. They never bothered cattle in a situation you were in. Now, we never used a black dog with a bushy high tail. These were blue dogs or yellow ones, bob-tailed or carried their tail low. Perhaps it is just what you are used to, and what your cows are used to.
At any rate, I still admire you and Saddletramp for what you accomplished, dogs or no dogs!
