You've been lucky, and to be lucky is a very good trait indeed.rbwhatever1 wrote:All of the dogs around here are farm dogs and they don't venture off their property. I cant think of one single issue anyone ever had out here with anybody else's dogs roaming the countryside. I'm guessing not having neighbors close enough to see might help a bit. After reading some of these posts I'm glad I don't have any issues with people or their pets. My LGD's are free range like all the other farm dogs out here and keep a good watch over things. I've never seen them off my property except at the front gate to the county road trying to run off the mailman or fedex guy dropping a package.
Like others have posted, if a stray dog is attacking or chasing livestock it would probably be shot quickly and left for the buzzards.
We know a very nice couple with hundreds of well-fenced acres who have exotics including wallabees that neighbor dogs have killed after digging-under their fence. Upon imploring the dogs' owner to control them he said simply "ain't gonna do it just shoot 'em if they bother you" and of course these people are animal Lovers not animal Killers. A quandry that proves once again, "people are just no damn good". Oh, and the worst people are neighbors. And the worst neighbors have dogs.
