Maybe! I picked up a mangy, flea-bitten dog years ago. Cleaned him up. Took about 6 months, he bit me twice (caused bleeding) but in time he turned into a pretty good cattle dog and I now have 2 of his pups and they are good herd dogs also. Maybe FDMF can do something similar. I am small SH. But I have patience and high hopes for this stock. GLTA
