What do you use to guard your flock?

Hi everyone, just curious what you use to guard your flock (particular dog breed, geese or just really secure fencing)?

I know many use Great Pyrenees to guard, and have heard of some using geese; just curious what everyone here is using.

We have a mini-dachshund and a 7-month old pug . . . . . and a beautiful golden retriever/german shepard mix to guard our flock!

wombat - gorgeous dog!

BattleChickens - We used to have Goldens, they're an awesome breed!

PeepsInc -

@ the 12 gauge! Yep, there are times that's needed.

Le Canard de Barbarie - Thanks for your response, does the electronet work well? Doesn't hurt the chickens?

chick4chix - Gorgeous Poodle! They are a very intelligent breed!

Steve the pygmy guard goat! All 5 of our dogs are in door animals. So at night just Steve is out there. But he lets us know if anything comes near. I'm not sure if he's really likes the chickens so much as he REALLY wants to eat their food!
