I have never had a neighbor's dog get my chickens. One neighbor had and I emphasize had a dog that killed my lambs. I have also had to either find a home in town for a dog and had another one put down for killing my birds. The one we gave away was a miniture dauchshound so I knew it could get a good home away from farm animals, the other a red heeler and I knew some idiot would think they could "fix" her (believe me I tried because I loved her) but when she acted up I was afraid someone would be cruel to her when they couldn't fix her.
