Electric fencing doesn't always work.

If I remember I will post a picture of how I did mine.

Oh that would be great!

I am so sorry for your neighbor's losses. I can tell you that after watching two boar coons team up on a fence, untie the connectors and basically disconnect a hot wire line....I want more than that protecting my babies.

As for your neighbor's dogs attacking the mini....had they been my dogs, they would be dead right now.. period .. point .. the end. I will not tolerate ANY dog attacking my animals especially and including my own. Not gonna have it. I would have shot the three of them right there without question. Hubby just bought me a M1 Carbine that I would have tested out. I just refuse to allow a dog to attack my animals. Have shot two neighbors' dogs in the last year plus...hate to do it but will.

Very sad events for your neighbor.

I did a 6 ft tall 2x4 welded wire fence set in cement. I added a 2 ft tall run of chicken wire around the inside just to keep the chooks from poking their heads thru. Then I did a fence charger with 4 courses of hotwire all around including the gate. Been thinking about adding one more course. After reading this, I am adding one last course of hotwire just above the top of the fence for a climber who might just make it past the other 4 wires.

The neighbors did put two of the three down the afternoon after the attack. All of the sudden, one of the two was now aggressive when they went in to take care of them, so it probably made it easier on the wife who rescued them from a shelter. The one allowed to survive apparently saved the wife from an attack from a two legged predator several years ago and couldn't say yes to her being put down. The husband wanted to do it on the spot, but knew he needed to give his wife time to work through it first. It's complicated, but that's the jist of it.

I'm getting ready to build a larger coup and my brain is in overdrive trying to take all things into consideration now.
