Thanks to coyotes, he has had the taste of pig, too, so I was quite worried he would try to kill the pigs.<br /><br />I would, except there won't be a next time. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-84029222150020327442013-05-20T09:47:25.029-04:002013-05-20T09:47:25.029-04:00Whoa look at you!

I don't think I've even done that yet, and I never had a pervasive fear of them.<br /><br />It is a shame no one else had the camera, because the picture that could have been taken would have been awesome. Wonder why the pigs got him so riled up. Maybe that is a natural reaction. I'm trying to think when my mother and ex-stepfather got two hogs how our dogs reacted. I know one we always kept chained up (the St. Bernard) even before then, but the other was always a free roamer.<br /><br />Next time pass off the camera or get someone recording some video! ;-)<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a>Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-40562258141151178182012-11-08T21:02:22.693-05:002012-11-08T21:02:22.693-05:00I'm so annoyed with myself that no one was abl...I'm so annoyed with myself that no one was able to get photos.<br />As for Roy, he wants to eat them. He wants to eat everything that comes into the yard. The year a coyote killed a pig, it of course couldn't take the pig with it. Before we discovered the carcass, Roy had already eaten some of it. He knows that pork is delicious. We will most certainly do things differently with any other dog we get.

I can't get inside your dogs head, but do you think he just wants to see what pigs are all about instead of eat them? You may be able to condition him to them so he will end up a protector instead of threat.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324506166406888086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-41671134666662137262012-11-07T12:40:03.055-05:002012-11-07T12:40:03.055-05:00I can't imagine that this is something he woul...I can't imagine that this is something he would want on his show :) <br /><br />Shepherd has been suggested, as has Burmese Mountain Dog.<br /><br />I think I'm going to have to invest in the shoes. At this point, he's killed so many animals (raccoons, opossums, cats, chickens) that have wandered into our yard that I think training him to do otherwise at this point would be nearly impossible.<br /><br />If we ever get another dog, we will most certainly do it differently!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-72079214634217640082012-11-06T16:14:30.350-05:002012-11-06T16:14:30.350-05:00Oops...forgot to tell you I'm stopping by from...Oops...forgot to tell you I'm stopping by from TALU.Trish Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843855934101044782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-90274782715626405562012-11-06T16:13:52.574-05:002012-11-06T16:13:52.574-05:00I bet this is a problem Cesar Milan hasn't fil...I bet this is a problem Cesar Milan hasn't filmed yet! What a funny story... you surely qualify now for some kind of dog-football team?<br /><br />Roy looks like an Australian Shepherd. He can probably learn that the pigs are to be defended, not defended against. :-) Pet the pigs. Pet Roy. Pet the pigs. Pet Roy. He'll catch on eventually. Or else, buy you some wrestling shoes.

Instincts so far just tell me to pretend I'm not scared. I was riding my bike recently and I went in an drive way that had a big loop. I thought it would be fine even though - yeah it was probably private property. I had done it several times before but this time two big doberman pincher looking dogs came sprinting across the yard. I kept my bike pace. Not ignoring them but I definitely didn't know what I was going to do. They went passed the grass so I knew there was no invisible fence thing. When I was out of their loop they slowed to a stop and barked at me from there. I couldn't believe it. I just knew I was going home with bike marks in my @$$. Whew. Needless to say, I pretend like I've been served with a restraining and I keep my distance from their property. ~TALUKenya G.

We put Roy's on her, since she was young and would venture away from our property. Now, she wouldn't even think about leaving Roy's side. So we put it back on him. he got shocked one time when heading to the barn, and now he won't go within 50 feet of it. yeah!<br />As for a water gun, it would work if we were outside 24 hours a day with her. Now, we're just waiting for him to get so old he can't run anymore. Then we'll finally be able to have some cats!<br />Wow, did I just write another post in my own post?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-68844484713111243902012-04-25T21:41:45.970-04:002012-04-25T21:41:45.970-04:00ugh.

And thankfully, you really only have to use it once or twice before they are asking you how high to jump. :) Good luck!<br /><br />For our pup, I'm finding that a water gun works wonders to teach her not to chase the kitties. Not sure Roy would respond to a water gun, though. Hee! Hee! <br /><br />And just so you know, I've been visiting. But we've been on the run and it's hard to leave comments from a smart phone. I have children/students I still pray for from my classroom days. That little guy no doubt remembers you and the love you gave him. Children that age are SO impressionable.
