Blasted loose dog tore a hole in my chicken fence and got in... by the time we got out there he had killed 4 muscovy and 3 chickens.

Death list:
Muscovy-
Old limpy drake
2 young girls
And 1 young boy

Chickens-
1 pair of my fancy Chamois Spitz
1 leghorn cross female (I think.. she was kinda torn up)

Luckily I have spare Chamois Spitz males..

But dang am I ticked....

And my chicken fence is double walled, goatfence layer with a chicken wire layer (yeah, the chicken wire is just to make the holes smaller) and a big heafty log on the bottom. I think the dog pulled the edge open where the fence connected to the building. Small dog.

Anyway... all outside access is now closed off until spring when I can fix the fencing... I am glad that there is lots of inside space.

And no... not my dog...

Idiots think that since they are in the middle of nowhere that it is great to let their dogs run free.

Couldn't catch or shoot the dog..... we didn't know what was up until we got out there. . and then that dog tore off like no tomorrow.

Hope you got a good look at the dog so you can shoot him on sight.

9 months of winter? I can barely take the few weeks of real winter that we get.

 

[Alaskan]

Yeah... wish I knew who owns him.

I had to pay a visit to one of our neighbors yesterday as it seems his two Dobermans are ranging further from home and in mortal danger in case he didn't know they were ranging. They wouldn't let one of the neighbors out of his truck at his pasture gate a couple of weeks ago and they scared their mother in another house not long after that. It pissed him off but I told him if I saw the dogs anywhere near my pastures, I would shoot them and he borders my west pasture.

I am with you...

If he likes his dogs he should fence them in.

Cr@p. I was hoping this post was going to say the murderer had gone "SSS missing".

I hope he contemplated what you said not only from the potential loss of his dogs at your hands but what they were doing at other people's places. I'm sure the law wouldn't look kindly at his dogs threatening people and he could lose them if they bit anyone.

With any luck those dogs are at least smart enough to stay off your place with Maisy and Thor in residence. They can't be ignorant of your dogs' presence and size.

I got the same reaction when my neighbors that are an eighth of a mile away let their dogs run and killed a young Pig in my front yard They had the nerve to tell me that my pig shouldn't be out. Well, in general number one they're not out, number two that's my front yard. Just because you live in the country doesn't give you the right to let your dogs terrorize other people's stuff.
