5 year old stray I took in 6 weeks ago. All his shots, housebroken, listens well. I came home from work today and he wasn't in his pen. 6' wire, that it seems he can climb. He sport killed all but three of my chickens, including a Jersy Giant hen, a Barred Rock hen, and an up a coming Rhode Island red. The first two were prize winners. My Barnevelder rooster (the size of a turkey) is barely alive, I don't expect him to make it. I wanted a dog, being alone, but this one is not it. I won't take him to the animal shelter, they gas dogs within five days, I'd rather put a bullet in his head. I've calmed down enough to post this, I wanted to take care of business right a way. I'm in South Central KY.

Hey, Dan. I'd take him, except I've already got two dogs (including an American Black and Tan hound that I took in off the street a few years ago) and I am looking at probably moving here before too long, so I'm not sure if where I go will have room for another pup. But you might want to give these folks a go, to see if they can help find him a good home. Sorry about your chickens.

yeah try not to put him down there are tons of great animal rescues that will take him and place him in a home without birds to eat.

sucks for your livestock but kind of hard to get mad at a hunting dog for hunting.

ps right now i have 5.25 dogs
2 black labs from a rescue in cincinnati 1 black lab mix from a shelter here (the skinny pic i posted earlier) one black lab mix that is a foster still awaiting its future home, a yorkie that will be going to its new home on the second or third and a german short hair pointer. she is 10 plus years old and we picked her up as a stray a couple weeks ago. way way way underweight, going blind and has cancer of the mammary track. pretty much we're providing ho****e care for the dog. she has maybe 6 months to live. so i'm fattening her up and showing a couple good months before the pain starts and then we'll have her put down

Dan ,
i am very sorry to hear about the loss of your chickens it is a real shame ,
solution introduce him to a Macaw the only bird wthat will NOT back down from a threat and after the dog loses a chunk of his nose to the Macaw he will not bother a bird EVER AGAIN my Macw has trained several cats and more than a few dogs, the down side is that the Macaw being as smart as a 5 year old child will think it is fun to hunt the hound and do so at EVERY opertunity .Macaws are very sneaky ,plan attacks and hold grudges for several weeks not a good thing if you piss one off and i should know i live with a free range Macaw the EVIL ONE as i teasingly call him can fold a penny in half and thinks hickory tool handles the finest kind of thing to chew on (he can destory a shovel handle in to splinters in less than an hour) my house monster is 4' from nose to tip of tail ,6.5 lbs of muscle with a beak as big as your fist ,oh and he aint gun shy either , will stand under a 12Ga. duck the ejected cases and laugh as i spaltter a tree rat.

Belt Fed Frog, Yes I know what your saying. My Greenwing Macaw (Bubba) can shred a Craftsman screwdriver handle like its balsa wood, they only last a few days. I've seen others snap welds on some pretty big cages too. If the beak doesn't scare the dogs & cats, that 115 db scream surely will.
What species macaw is your bird?

PS, sorry Dan I'm not trying to steal the thread. Hope your dog finds a good home and your chickens will be safe again.

Dan , my lady says that you should hang one of the poor dead chickens around the dogs neck for about a week(so he cant get it off) and he will never touch one again ,she used to raise chickens ,ducks and geese.

Good breed

Had a female Black & Tan raised her with the kids, good dog, very gentle, VERY protective, slow to anger, lost her (put her down)to cancer at 13.

Dog was lying in the living room, my daughter, 16, came home from a date, boy friend stepped inside to say good night, they started pushing each other as kids are wont to do. Bridget (the dog) saw this as an attack, leaped over a coffee table, pinned the guy against the entry way wall by grabbing his balls, ripped the crotch of his Levi's brusied his private parts. Bought him new Levi's, no permant damage. Kid would never come into the house unless we put the dog in the garage.

Used the dog for birds, one place I hunted picked corn with an old pull type picker, field had a lot of wet spots, that turned into weed patches, picker left a lot of stalk standing in the rows Bridget weighed about 90 lbs she could bull her way through the rows when the birds ran along the ground and ducked from row to row. She would turn the birds, flush the bird and chase and hold the cripples. Got a lot of strange looks from other hunters with pointers and retrivers, also got a lot of birds. Not classical bird hunting, but very satisifing. When the dog got really old my son and I would take her to the field, only about 2 miles from the house, let her hunt for about 20 minutes, we would have to lift he back into the truck, take her back home, clean her up and then go back out and finish hunting without her. If we didn't take he she would howl the whole time we were gone.

chicken killer

It's always tough when a dog decides it's going to kill birds, I've had dogs and chicken most of my life and I've never been able to get one to stop after it's had it's first taste, I tried all the farmer solutions, even tied the dead bird around their neck, first time they get loose and you aren't watching they will do it again, I had to get rid of my daughters dog a couple years ago after it took to killing birds, and all my birds were in an enclosure, it ripped through the chicken wire, lucky for me we have the largest "NO KILL" animal sancuary 10 minutes away, they don't like to take them but you tell them it will be shot if they don't take it, they are taking in all of Micheal Vicks dogs, talk about a waste of money, those dogs can never be placed in a home or caged with other animals,why bother! I hope you find a good home for the dog.

Dan,

I'm posting this in several other forums that have black powder shooters who might want a good **** dog.

 

[Dan @ Angola Armory]

Thanks everyone for the replies and sugestions. I don't blame Boudreaux (thanks Ol'Coot) for being what he is, that being a bird dog. I've known since day one he would be after the birds, I did everything but wire-roof his run. I even wired the ground when I found out he was a digger. I still have the Rhode Island Red, she must have made safe in the hayloft. The two older hens were so old that they laid only once in awhile, but toughest to lose was Roscoe. He was the biggest chicken anyone ever seen, proud but approachable, mild in manor but with killer 1 1/2" spurs. I still have three RI pullets, they are kept in a seperate area untill they are of size. Ol'Boud will find a new home I'm sure. Time to look for a pup and a new rooster.
Thanks again guys,
Dan
