Quote: Okay, they don't have fences on their property, and they are the sorts of people who don't see dogs as house pets. I can understand that. Here's what I would do, then. If you are close enough with them, drop by some time for a cup of coffee. Show them a print out of this thread of some...

Quote: Excellent idea! Now if I can find a source for Livestock Protection Bears and a good resource on training them I will be all set.

Quote: Yes, that is a layer of protection we are most definitely adding to our setup in the coming year.

Quote: Well, I was talking about a good dog. No, but seriously, if the dogs are trained to protect the territory, the stray will not enter it. If it is a breed that is bred to protect the flock or territory, it will do just that. But again, I'm not just talking about these particular dogs...

Quote: On one, I'm not going to sit in my fields all day and night to protect my flocks like my dogs do and will. On two, not if the my birds or sheep or goats or whatever are raised with the dog, and the well trained dog with them. I strongly recommend you check out the following site...

Quote: One or two dogs cant not survive and protect the stock from a large pack. I don’t care what breed they are or how big they are. It is downright cruel and abusive to think that anyone would willingly let their one or two dogs go up against a large aggressive pack of proven killers. You...

Well, it's sort of like this in my view. How badly do you want to protect your chickens? Just building a secure run and keeping them locked up all the time isn't enough, in my view. Even the most secure systems have weaknesses, and has been pointed out, there are predators out there that are...

Quote: Sure there is, but now I'm starting to repeat myself. Look, if y'all want to shoot dogs and you can find a legal means to do so, I guess you are just going to go ahead and shoot dogs. But if you want to protect your birds, there are more effective alternatives. I have noticed a common...

Quote: Well, he probably wouldn't have to. Mine is a lab and she has no trouble repelling larger dogs. They come to recognize another dog's turf. She fought some neighborhood dogs, one of them a rottweiler, when she was establishing her turf, and she didn't always get the better of them. But...

Quote: Get a good dog and you won't. I wouldnt get a dog to just put it at risk of attack from these roaming dogs. It wouldn't be to put it at risk of attack. It would be to protect the flock, obviously. In addition to protecting it from these dogs, it would also be protected from other...

Quote: Well, I seriously doubt that's true in the case of attacking other dogs. People, it would depend on the circumstances. I know some states have weird laws, but that seems a significant stretch to me. Their dog trespasses on your property, is a threat to your livestock, and your dog will...
