Ditto the RIR. My dog used to think it was fun to chase him around, never bit him, but they would spar off. The dog was playing, but I don't think the roo knew that. Well, one day he got braver and cornered her up on the deck!! No more chasing the roo after that! Mr Rooster has once jumped up on her back while we were playing in the yard!!! She's 60lbs so way bigger than the roo! My dog's a wuss though, ducks tail and runs to me if the roo even puff up at her! I have no idea what he might do in a real fight if the dog was truly attacking.
He IS brave enough to try to attack a big dog though!! We are very lucky in that most of the neighbors dogs either ignore the chickens like mine does, or are only mildly interested -- not interested enough to try to beak in the fence.

Dogs are my #1 daytime predator concern, but keeping my chickens inside my fence is my #1 defense. Unfortunately I have some escape artists in the family!
