Hi, this may sound like an ignorant questions, but I have never had a dog. I like cats, guinea pigs, birds, but never was a huge dog fan. I am thinking that I may need one, because the foxes are very active lately. 1 fox decimated a neighbor's flock, and we see a second fox in the area now. I live on an acre, and my yard is not fenced in. I would be interested in a dog that A) will not attack the chickens when free ranging, B) will attack the fox/raccoon or any other 4 legged predator, C) I am gone long hours during the day so this thing would probably live outside most of the time, if the weather isn't bad. I don't care if it is a barker - my neighbors have a dog that barks incessantly, 2 roosters that crow all hours (I only mind the roosters between 2AM and 5AM - but they aren't that bad), and a parrot that competes with the dog.
So any ideas or suggestions??
Thanks!
