Already posted this pic on another thread - but what the heck - I'll post it here too.

I hope that snake didn't get fat eating your chickens' eggs!

I don’t think (but have no verification) that water moccasins eat eggs. But, whatever the case may be- that particular snake will not be getting fat on anything-anymore,

That IS a fat snake! Beautiful dog too

I didn’t know dogs could/would kill snakes especially venomous ones.

Some dogs will definitely kill all snakes they encounter - even venomous ones. In this instance, she had wounded the snake before I even knew what was going on. I intervened and held Gracie back while DH finished the snake off. (That was such a big snake that I know he had the ability to unload a huge batch of venom into my dog.) After that, Gracie re-killed it again and again! I have video of her shaking it violently and tossing it around. As beautiful as she is - she is a vermin killing machine!

She is a great asset to us. She's an English Shepherd - the (almost) perfect farm dog in my opinion.

Only "almost"? What is the perfect farm dog in your opinion?

Gracie is the perfect farm dog with one exception. She is such a vermin eradicator that anything that is small and moving fast is on her menu....baby chickens are small and move fast. Generally, they do not invade "her" yard - but occasionally they slip through the fence - they don't often have the ability to slip back out. Her only flaw.
