I don't know why some dogs suddenly do it. I had a hunt away once that was like a switch was flipped in her brain. She was a work dog about six. Very good dog from strong working lines and showed no end of promise. Never used to catch sheep and aside for the odd nip on the nose or hock of a pain in the ass ewe never savaged sheep.
One day I came home and she had killed two ram hoggets. I was 99% sure it was her but held off on shooting her that day. The next day she killed the orphan calf I was raising next to the house...
