[RC] what is the best dog to gueard horses? - Rides 2 FarAngie you should be ashamed of yourself for > missing this one. The answer is obvious, you want a good hound dog. > Preferably a Coon Hound (Blue Tick or Black and Tan) Sorry Truman, you're wrong on this one. I *had* a bluetick English Coon Hound. If he ever happened to be home at the time of night that a thief struck it would have been pure luck...and he'd have met them with tail wagging. Coon Hounds are totally non-territorial. My male stretched out like a horse to pee. Never had an enemy, could pass through other dog's territory and never mark anything. They let him pass cause they knew he was just out hunting. He also wouldn't hurt critters when he cornered or treed them. Just wanted to chase'em. My neighbor as guineas, and there are eleven dogs on my dead end street (4 houses). Most of them Australian Shepherds or crosses thereof. My personal favorite way to foil thieves is to have trash laying around for them to trip on. Cross ties, a regular obstacle course. Aussies nipping at their heels, guieneas raising cain getting the Canada Geese stirred up. Might even make that coon hound who is about 4 miles from home by then stop and prick his ears. >g< Angie ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
