Пришло время, когда следует отказаться от точки зрения венца природы и перестать рассуждать о том, какая порода и какая собака лучше. Такой подход создал ловушку генетической изоляции. Хотелось бы ликвидировать эти ограничения «чистокровности». Это не значит, что надо смешать все породы и вернуться к первоначальной деревенской собаке. Но это значит, что необходимо ценить способности собак, их здоровье и чувства.
Истинная ценность любой собаки — будь то домашняя или служебная — в ее поведении. Как говорила моя бабушка, красив тот, кто красиво поступает. Лучше иметь маленькую собаку, чем длинную родословную. Хорошей собака становится после рождения, а не до. Нет генов хорошего домашнего любимца. Но есть породы, из которых просто не могут получиться домашние собаки, как их не воспитывай. Это те породы, которым свойственны определенные последовательности стереотипных форм поведения, не подходящие для домашних условий (см. гл. 6). Большая ошибка приобретать такую собаку для дома. И она, и ее владелец, скорее всего, будут несчастны.
Для большинства собак необходимо уделять внимание — и немалое — развитию в критический период социализации (с 1-й по 8-ю недели, а затем с 8-й по 16-ю), что является решающим для формирования хорошей собаки.
В процессе социализации и дрессировки помните, что собака — не волк.
И в то же время не забывайте, как сказал знаменитый канадский заводчик ездовых собак Эмиль Мартель, что «они всего лишь собаки».
