I'd be interested to know the names of some of the dog-training resources that came up in last month's discussion on working dogs. I like the idea of well-trained, useful dogs, but have no experience training them. With my family's seeming trajectory to Amdo (eastern Tibet) I could imagine coming across the local varieties of dogs (Tibetan mastiff mixes) who could be worked beyond what they currently do (chained all day as they're known to be quite savage but then unchained at night to patrol for wolves and thieves)...

I'm also wondering how to go about learning about an ecosystem/region with which I'm completely unfamiliar (eastern Himalayas, Yellow River area, upstream from Lanzhou). I don't know that we'll be moving there any time soon, but it could enter the picture within the next two years. Being a Californian who figured she'd stay at least local to the Pacific NorthWest, it's daunting to realize I'm going to have to learn everything from scratch...

Any words of encouragement for someone who has no access to land in the U.S. on which to at least practice and who may be picking up her skirts for a move to southeastern China and then maybe ultimately on to the west (eastern Tibet)?

Wendy
