I was watching a sch demo earlier this week and happened to hear a owner mention that their dog was a prey monkey. I talked with the person about the dog so have a good idea of what he meant, but I wanted to hear what you thought of the term.
 
A prey monkey is a dog that has a huge amount of drive in it genetically and a trainer that has no idea of what other drives are and ONLY works the dog in prey and therefore creates a dog that is lacked in prey and prey only.
A huge mistake for any application other then Sch where most dogs are trained in 90% prey and 10% defense.
Hope I helped.
