My JRT has killed so many of my chickens, he bites my friends, and wants to hunt and kill ANY living creature he crosses paths with.
He is my boy, and I wouldnt give him up for ANYTHING.
The world is lucky that Parson Jack Russell wanted a small dog . . . wink
If my dog was even 25lbs, Id be in a lot of trouble.
I have the 25lb version... It's called a shiba. To quote the misanthropic shiba website

Shibas have a high prey drive. High. Greyhounds run, Border collies herd, Labs retrieve
Shibas kill things. Lots of things. Things you didnt think could be killed, like the toilet seat or your down comforter. By the way, how is your gerbil? Heard the wheel spin lately? Id better check if I were you.
Chicken killing is an art with a goal of the chicken dying before the person watching can finish the word "no". It's suggested your yard can hold a maximum security inmate before you bring home a shiba puppy. Chain link fence=shiba ladder. For some reason despite research we got a shiba. Then again I know the reason... while someone is telling you all this you look down at this fuzzy fox like creature and remark "but it's so cute!"
So far the score is shiba 10, chickens 1 due to interference. Luckily for a certain shiba puppy dogs trump chickens in this household but dogs do still get in big trouble and not even allowed in the dog yard without a rope if a chicken death occurs.
If you have a little money to spare I found that innotek recently put on the market an electronic collar with individual sensors. You can set the sensors in locations such as doorways, potted plants, furniture, etc.. and set the distance from 1-10' so when the dog enters the area it gets a shock from the collar and learns to stay away. I'm ordering my system this month and seeing if the sensors can be attached to living creatures. Mocha rabbit may get to be a guinea pig and one of the guinea fowl if I can catch any of them. If nothing else I'll stick the sensor on the door to outside.
