You are pretty much correct, guard dogs and protection dogs are legal, but you have to maintain control of the dog - either with an owner/handler, or some form of restraint (chain, cage, inside a building) in the owner/handler's absence, have warning signage of the dogs presence - and be careful of what commands you have trained the dog to respond to, to avoid liability. Appropriate insurance is also advised. A few brief informative articles, which may be of interest:

Not a toy poodle, but one these one would hope.
One house where I delivered to had a dog that if you weren't careful would get your fingers as you shoved it throught the letterbox, after a complaint the guy just said he's only being playful, next time I shoved it half way through and hung on the other side, shredded the paper to confetti, he then put a guard over the letterbox to stop that happening again.
That might just cross the fine line between a bit of mischievous score settling, and criminal damageā¦new one I heard today was expanding foam up exhaust pipe

I sold an English setter to a couple on the Orkney Isles. They phoned up in great excitement to say they'd been out for the evening and returned home to hear barking. They let themselves in to find a very relieved burglar on the kitchen floor. Apparently, every time he tried to get up the dog bit him!

Well excuse me! But I would rather meet a Toy Poodle any day than a German shepherd!
I have found that German shepherds can be short tempered and very impatient, and to be honest, often rather rude if they ask you to hand them the dosing gun and one mistakenly passes them a marking stick; and just because one is not fully conversant with the idiosyncrasies of the Bavarian dialect.

Put a notice on the gate "This field has been sprayed, please stay on the path. The spray can severely affect animals".
The spray? Rain. Dogs can drown.

sprayed with DHMO
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.Dihydrogen monoxide:
- is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
- contributes to the āgreenhouse effect.ā
- may cause severe burns.
- contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
- accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
- may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
- has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
- as an industrial solvent and coolant.
- in nuclear power plants.
- in the production of styrofoam.
- as a fire retardant.
- in many forms of cruel animal research.
- in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
- as an additive in certain ājunk-foodsā and other food products.
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its āimportance to the economic health of this nation.ā In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

I really canāt believe most of the posts on this, itās absolutely ridiculous to even contemplate violence, taking it out on his dogs or damaging his vehicle.
Number one rule when confronting people on your property is that as soon as they threaten you with violence or retribution you know you are safe. Iāll guarantee that the violent nut job thatās going to beat seven shades out of you is never ever going to have a discussion with you about it first. When they threaten you you must remain calm, tell them youāre not intimidated by them and theyāll shortly disappear, probably never to be seen again.
