[QUOTE="ABlackSheep, post: 7701103, member: 161286"] You make a very interesting point on using dogs as guards. Do your dogs roam free at night? Seems to me the ideal is to have dogs with a good menacing bark that look intimidating but won’t actually bite. I had a collie once that was as friendly as can be. She was a softy with visiting fiends and family. But if it was the postman or someone delivering something she’d go for them. My neighbour has two collies. They are kept on chains in the yard when not working and sleep in a shed at night. You’ve only got to turn up the track to the farm for them to bark their heads off. But here’s an interesting thing. He had his quad bike and tools stolen last year. His bedroom overlooks the yard and the shed where the dogs sleep. And he didn’t hear a thing. The dogs didn’t seem doped in the morning. I wonder how the thieves kept them quiet. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
