We have a neighborhood dog here, she's about 10 yrs old and stays between our place and a friends place, we feed her three meals a day, give her all
the love she wants and in turn offers us her protection, pretty amazing shephard mix that only wants to be loved and fed, right now she is hiding from
the night guard here as she does not want to go on rounds with him tonight so stay here she shall........

Dogs are the best first line of defense. I also suggest keeping motion sensor activated lights around where the dogs sleep. They will set them off
every time anything moves near the property and the combination of the dogs and lights coming on will take care of most problems before they ever
happen.
We just got Kobe, Beba's older brother and I really like the 1-2 punch this pair of red/black dobermans are packing. Even the neighborhood dogs out
here on the beach are taking the long way around our property now...

Just train your dogs to never never never eat anything not from your hand.
This is most important. Your adversary will poisen your dogs. Arsenic will violently kill them in minutes.
You will be next.

Great advice Dennis. I don't let anybody get friendly with my dogs. When most people pull onto the property they look at the dogs and ask me if they
bite?
"Only if you move", is my standard response...

Yeah...good. Very vigilant.
Ron.......I'll bet you a box of beer that, if I came to the fence that housed your vicious animals and tossed over a kilo of arsenic laced ground
sirloin, they would go for it.
Why wouldn't they?

It wouldn't be the first time I have put down a dangerous dog.
There is a hierarchy.

dogs, I do not like the killers.
A few years back we were at the La Pinta in Catavina and some gringo jerk was there with his macho killer dog. We had to walk our dogs in a giant
circle around him and it took all he had to hold that dog back. And as he said, his dog would not hesitate to kill one of our dogs----and I a sure he
would not have stopped with our dogs!
But, to each his own. Glad nothing happened. |

I agree that vicious dogs are not only a hazard but not necessary. Smart dogs know when and with whom to turn it on or off. My dogs will not attack
another dog unless provoked first. But I don't want anybody to think they can just come up to the property and pet them, much less feed them. That is
just a reality of living out here in the boondocks. Maybe if I lived in a development with a lot of homes nearby a poodle would make more sense.
Well, maybe not...

There is no guarantee they wouldn't Dennis, I wish there were.
I will tell you that when the fence is finished it will only be 48" high. You know why? Fences only keep honest folks out but my dogs can easily jump
that fence. Through my training and their natural good sense, I am hoping that they will quickly figure out that one of them needs to get to you
before they are all dead.
I pray that never happens but I wouldn't like my odds being the guy trying to get to my dogs first.

Another thing that I learned in Mexico..............Dogs have a propensity to bite when they arn't thoroughly socialized. They bite peoples legs and
their kids in neighborhoods which should be free of these attacks and the animals have identifiable homes/houses.
A common, albeit sickening method of revenge is to mix ground glass with ground beef, feed it to the offending mutt and rest assured that the animal
will suffer a gruesome death with it's digestive system shredded while it lives through the pain till the merciful end.
Look at your pretty dogs and think about this. Don't allow your animals to eat anything from strangers.
It requires training......not just a heart to heart talk.

We are on the same page Dennis.
Some folks have vicious dogs that have to be locked up when company comes over. Mine don't. In fact they will hang around everybody, usually laying
down next to Cristina or I. They won't growl at you, bite you or corner you. But they will not come up and be your lap dog either.
Feeding our dogs is a defined process I will not go into but with a very definite purpose in mind...

I agree with that DianaT, have had a number of dogs and been around a few ... some were the kind that were brought up to "kill" .... and others to
protect their masters..
Not sure in a dog fight who will win, and don't want to fight them to find out.. as a ring fight would tend to favor one who has been trained for that
kind of fight..
Will only say we had a Border Collie/MacNab mix that was not aggressive at all, but when it came to a fight.. he went for the throat.. was extremely
protective
The wife was walking with the kid when in was about 18 months.. in stroller out in the country.. where we lived... three stray dogs came up and tried
to attack.. Trouble fought all three... and hurt one really serverely hurt one, ripped the throat, and must have broken the leg of the other as it had
to limp away.. the third just took off... and was never seen again..
Another time.. he caused a Hereford from the next doors neighbors range out through a break in the barb wire fence,.. and had wandered onto our
place.. Trouble tried to herd it back.. but scared the silly animal so much.. that it jumped into our pool... yeah, cleaning up the pool was a
treat... the cow was able to walk out using the stairs.. .. and found its way back to where it was supposed to by, a ranch that two sister ran cattle
on which we butted up to..
But, he was not a "killer" but it was in him to fight to the death in protecting his family... he was very loyal, and obident ... would stay in the
back of my pickup until I called him.. period.. and he could clear the tailgate on a 3/4 ton Doge i used for wood cutting.. with out touching
Have seen both ways of working with dogs..
There are two "killer" dogs I met up in Rosarito.. I asked the owner if he minded if I talked to them.. he said sure if you think your up to it...
both I found were loyal and protective and could be quite vicious if someone came onto the property and "they" the dogs did not like them.. sensed
"fear"..
Me, I was no threat at all and they knew it ..... only broke my skin when chewing on me twice.. and that was just play.. but when you are a pit bull
or a rottweller .. don't think they know their own strength... and how many big teeth they have.. good boys ... and I give them treats.. both owners
have been astouded they way the dogs react to me.. they even no the sound of my cars.. it been since July 9th since I was up.. and the last time I saw
Bob and Oliver.. and looking forward to seeing them again.. really good boys.. no one else will get close to them.. they are ket on heavy chains.. and
left outside in the elements.. I just use an office chair with rollers.. and visit each guy while waiting to get my car fixed ..
Like all animals.. even goats.. as I have found they are just like dogs.. very friendly and very smart animals.. as long as they don't spit.. but, you
can say that about camels too..
Some nice looking dogs.. BG use signal flares when approaching.. as I'm sure you would not "hear" anything at all.. if your blasting... you system

It's not what they eat, but what they won't, by training, eat.
You mean to say, if I walked by your yard and tossed in a BigMac, they wouldn't eat it?
