He is totally and 100% safe with chickens but hates humans so anyone going in at night will be badly bitten. The other week I went to collect 2 trios of birds from a friend. On the way home the 2 cockerels started fighting through the bars of the cages so I pulled over, hoiked out one of the cockerels and dumped him on the back seat next to Kip. He spent the next hour sitting there next to the dog perfectly at ease lol Funny though that might sound, the problem with that approach is where the dog would end up with regards to the Dangerous Dog's Act if the worst happend (ie a dog bite). If you get an unfavourable magistrate, the dog might pay the price, with its life Its one thing to have a people aggressive dog at home, with a beware of the dog sign, and be around to react to its bark etc, but IMHO its not fair on a dog to leave it alone to be judge, jury and executioner, all rolled into one How could you expect Kip tell the difference between Nigel and Stephen visiting their allotment, or a burgler? All would be strangers to Kip Big step in canine logic, IMHO (as a dog trainer) for a dog to tell the difference. Still, at least the chickens are safe again with the fencing back up and running, so maybe its all irrelevant now...

I don't think Fenwoman was being any more serious about the dog attacking them, than I was about rigging up the lock to the energiser.

I have no intention of leaving my Kip anywhere at night. He does bite and yes I am aware of the implications and law. Plans have been formulated to save him should he ever bite again. He would not appear in court or on any list nor be put to sleep Needless to say I take care to ensure he never manages to bite anyone but if he did he would not be put to sleep. I love him and he me.

I have never heard of a law about someone maliciously getting bees to attack a burglar hehehe. Perhaps you could say they were police bees and this is a sting operation <groan> Back to top stephen Site Admin Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 5221 Location: Billinge, Skåne, Sweden.

We already have the 12v radio remote control switch, and an indicator to show when the fence is off. The security upgrade will take place tomorrow, and the shed will be inside the perimeter. I think I shall make a mistake and somehow wire the padlock into the energiser too, just in case they get past the fence.
