thanks for that link Eddie. some of his get a bit too HDR-ish in the tonemapping, but he has a lot of great captures. This one is one of my faves for the "decisive moment"..... Dot in Your Face
those dogs sure earn their keep!
it's possible but they have very hard heads (one of the breeds they were developed from way back is pit bulls - hard heads and tenacity came from there, I think they learn very quickly nip the foot with the weight on it. I'll look for it but i saw a video of one get kicked in the head while chasing down a steer. he got up shook his head and went right back at it. As pets they are very owner focused to the exclusion of almost anything else, my boy constantly gets attention from people and he just ignores them and looks at me. there is good and bad there, once in a while it would be nice if he would focus elsewhere (I'm apparently just not capable of wearing him out)I imagine that some of them must die during the learning process. A well placed kick I would think would shatter the skull.
