Very true!! We had farm geese when I was a kid, not sure the breed. I'd have to look up some pics. Anyways we had some mean 1s that no dog wld go near, not even the neighbors evil little pack. They'd snatch a chicken, very rare duck (they stuck near the geese) or turkey. We actually had a very large male named Junk Yard Dog. He was also know to steal hub caps off of strange cars in our driveway, lol!!! I think I'd have a few emu on my imaginary farm/ranch. U sold me, lol!!!
Lol, I would probably raise them from babies in an attempt to make them friendly towards me and my family. But if they were mean to me I would take extra precautions when handling cause I don't want to get kicked by one of those guys. Lol.
You got lucky, a lot of dogs around hear will tear a goose apart. That's one reason I keep a loaded 9mm, a shotgun, and a metal bar handy. I'm not above smacking a dog in the head with a baseball bat to save my chickens or geese. I would probably cave the dang dogs head with how furious I would be in that situation. I love my animals very much and can't stand the people down the street who let their dogs run lose sickly and viscous. Those dogs have ripped a full grown German shepards front leg off (they tore through chain link to kill that old mans pet and the poor dog bled to death) they also killed a weenie dog in its yard, and a Shepard/husky mix that got lose. A 15 year old boy was attacked and bitten, but the father didn't report it as he wants to shoot the dogs. Stupid to risk rabies if you ask me. I myself have been chased by them. I have a no tolerance policy for those dogs. Which is sad considering I rescue cats and dogs off the streets and try to find them homes, out of my own pocket. But they are too mean to take chances with.
