Incidents such as this continue to reinforce the need for sheepdogs to be posted at all times, in malls, in business, in church. God bless to all who serve others in this manner. The lady is a true hero. She was trained, and had the mindset to carry her training out which resulted in saved lives.

rattles
The quality of the rattles are directly proportional to the size of the antlers being rattled. Using a small rack to make rattles will not result in a quality set of rattles. For rattling in big bucks, you need good size mass of antler to carry tonal quality and depth. IMHO
