A bird can naturally know how to build a nest but a dog can't naturally know how to follow an animal?

    Still not comparable to what I said.

    It is comparable.

    I implore you to look up videos of working dog puppies. Duck hunters don't get retrievers because they like how they look, they get them because they have been selected over generations on their inherent retrieving drive, which is a natural trait of dogs. You are objectively wrong about these traits not being inheritable. These dogs need to be trained what to retrieve, or what to point, not how to do these things. My sister's pointer would point piles of shit, she had to train it to point birds.

    I'm sorry but you are completely wrong about this topic.

    Border Collie of a friend is trained to work with mentally ill kids (of course his training isn't that specific but that's what he does) Anyways in his spare time he herds everything. When the wind piles up leaves he will run around that pile frantically barking at every single leaf that falls out of line. "Herding cats" lost all its appeal as a figure of speech to me, as i've seen him do it successfully.
