Lord someone stop me from taking out an innocent dog with a bad owner.

I can't seem to catch a break thankfully every-fluffy-body is alright since my DH adopted a $10 Lab/Dalmatian. He just earned his keep today!

Hubby and I are sitting in the living room watching a movie when our Daly/lab Dizzy starts freaking out, barking at the window, pointing doing anything to get our attention, we go over to see what the commotion was about. We get over in time to see my SG roo, LFB, being chased and caught by the neighbors dog. I shout startling the dog to release the bird (Thank god!) and he runs under our stock trailer...

I grab the dog by what ever I can and throw him in the trailer and start hunting for my scattered flock. Mind you it was raining when the attack happened, so of the birds we found right off the bat, they were pathetic, shaking and my other roo, Mustachio, was in shock, breathing hard and not moving much, same with my non-bearded hen, Momma. Of the 11 birds I have, we found 6 right away, both roos, Momma, Lucy, Thelma and either Snow Pea or Whatamess (They look very similar when wet...) thanks to the help of my basset hound, Delilah and Dizzy.

Around dark, they all came out of the wood work (STS), so I know they are alive, 10 went back to the coop, the only hen on the lamb is my black hen, Psyco... (she acts really crazy if you get near/touch her...)

My question is, would you call animal control on the dog? The neighbor doesn't speak a lick of English and I know no Spanish so there is a huge language barrier there. I have had issues with this dog crossing the road near a blind hill with a speed limit of 45mph where everyone goes 50-60... I have chased it back to its yard almost daily. The neighbor seems to "collect" strays, there are at least 3 big dogs and 2 small that are always out side and try to come over to our yard. Today was the straw that broke the camels back though because it chased and caught my birds.

What would you all do, its all I can do to keep myself from "culling" it?

Again, thanks for your input. And here is a photo of Dizzy, my wonder pup who helped save my birds.
 
What's desirable colors?

Is it yellow like this? She is partridge (or blue partridge - not really clear on that).
:love I was happy with a dozen silkies till I started hanging out on this thread.. :p

I have had the same issue. Not going to get into it in great detail, as there is a lot to it. I threatened the neighbour that I would shoot the dog (I couldn't - but I was so angry I could puke). I called animal control and they issued her a warning. Any time the dog would leave the property she would be immediately fined $50.

I think my threat of death on the animal scared her straight. I am prepared to drive 2 hours and drop the dog off at the SPCA in a different province.

Honest to God.. I hate bad dog owners! :barnie

Let me know when you locate your missing hen.
I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I was so angry I was shaking (and am now thinking about it!).

Thats horrible jsp28504 :hugs What a good Dizzy!!! Dog!

I just don't know what to tell you for advice. I will have to think about it. Are you the one moving? Sorry I am having a hard time keeping track of everyone. (I am new on this thread)
 
Calling it in as a stray would work. Does the humane society in your area pick up? Or just keep it caged till you have an opportunity to drop it at the shelter.


ps: take the collar off ;)
