    pearld, sounds like your setting a trap for me. it is almost midnight and i'll have to take a pass on the tirade that would have to ensue if i got serious on this subject. for the moment, my saying that i think he is a kook will have to suffice. i need to lock up the shop and head for the...

    I am sick of my dogs killing chickens

    ladysonja and ninjapoodles, ya'll are on opposites sides of the spectrum on this subject. my *opinion* lies somewhere between ya'lls. i wouldn't own a chicken eating dog either, but i wouldn't shoot him either. i will state again that there is only one in 1,000 dogs tht are untrainable. in...
