And another dog showed up today, I cant keep another one. No fence and Dog stays here but cant trust a couple dogs together. Hell I see one , ok. But if I see them running in a pack Im prone to shoot. I tried shooting some rounds off while chasin this bitch but now its on my back porch under a heatlamp with food and water.

I think a very small local shelter run by some woman will get it tomorrow, if not.....well. It wont be the first time I said bye bye.

How many dogs do you have? Just the 2? We have 3 and will be adopting a 4th soon. We are kinda rural, but not as rural as you.

I'm strong with my dogs (firm hand, no BS, etc.). They hunt rabbits and other varmits together as a pack but see my family as part of the pack and I'm the alpha, so no trouble. The 'top dog' is very loyal and keeps the others in line. If the others get out of line, he will pin them to the ground with his teeth on their neck. They help protect my other animals that they recognize as belonging to me, so I consider them value added.

I do love to see them work together. In a hunt or protecting chickens from coyotes. They work very together - it's the most amazing thing to see.

This is just a thought - you do what you need to do. But, multiple dogs can work if you have the right structure and a firm hand. If they know what to expect, they can be trained to stay in line.

Good luck.

I work during the day so Dog is alone, he doesn't roam, but with another Im sure he would. People shoot dogs in the country. If I had a fence to keep them contained I would keep it. Other than that I try not to look at it.

Fuck, nothing interesting about it! Its a dog and a life I feel for. If I end up having to end it another piece of me dies.

Why would you "have" to end it?

Returned to said woman who saves dogs, turned out to live down the road from her, quite aways on roads not as far thru woods.

As far as ending it, Im in the country, I cant keep every dog around.

Good on ya for letting ol boy crash for a couple days on your porch.

Once ended up with a collarless stray dog for a few days awhile back, like in 2002. Just kind of "showed up" one day. Very well mannered, totally behaved like a proper guest should. Could tell he was collie mixed with something else. Did not allow him to come into contact with my other dog at the time, because who knows what this dog could be inflicted with. Was deciding on either taking him to the pound or taking him to the vet to be checked out.

But then woke up one morning, and ol boy was gone. He just up and left. Probably went home.

The way she goes. If you do it, do it clean. But you know that.
