Victor, I had to look your dog up since I'd never heard of it before! Cute breed. She sounds like a good mouser! I'm curious now which is a better mouser, your dog or cat?
My brother always had hunting dogs, so of course, they would always chase after any living animal they considered prey.
haopee, I'm wondering if you have trouble/"bad blood" with that particular neighbor since your dog kills and eats his chickens? He shouldn't be mad if his chickens come onto YOUR property though before getting killed. If it were the other way around, your dog going onto his property to grab his chickens, it would be a different story.
A guy my husband works with owns a horse ranch with a great many acres. He's always complaining about a neighbor's dogs that run free and kill the deer on his land.
Well, that's the thing. BD doesn't care about the ducks. Only the chicken. And right now, so far no chickens were victimized but occasionally, it still does.
I was wondering if feeding them raw meat was affecting their outlook in food.
It was their chickens that came into our premises because all their animals are loose. My only trouble with that neighbor is that their dogs get to roam free which annoys me because they will travel in a pack and come into our dogs' turf which is the road beside our home. And my dogs would go bonkers at them. Other than that, we're pretty much good neighbors.
