Of course, accidents can happen and one of our dogs could end up loose. A loose dog will be graciously returned to its owner. (I've found dogs in my yard that came from 10 miles away.) A loose dog that kills or maims anything is promptly shot. Knowing that, people keep close tabs on their dogs. Out here the most popular breeds are Queenies and Kelpies (thank you, Australia). They tend to stay close to home. The worst wanderers are Labradors, though they don't usually kill things, they're just out following their noses. Hope the goats are recovering.Jan Blawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697621979002856884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-52005375136347346252011-07-18T15:08:40.064+10:002011-07-18T15:08:40.064+10:00Poor Bubba!

Poor Bubba..thank goodness you heard the distress call from the rooster (I've heard that when attacked, goats stay silent..). <br /><br />Our neighbour has a husky pup and one day it was over here grabbing our white ducks in it's mouth and racing around the property swinging them two and fro--very distressing. Bl**dy dogs!!<br /><br />I do hope Bubba is ok and that they both aren't too shaken up. Our ranger said if an attack happens again to take possesion of the dog and call it in..there are huge penalties for letting dogs roam at large.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204291906401193716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-6156170171011301512011-07-17T17:57:10.240+10:002011-07-17T17:57:10.240+10:00How awful and frightening.

I have had a dog attack my chickens three times now, and on this last attack it killed my poor little silkie, Edna. I am so gutted I won't even post about it. I have called the council on each occasion - I know where the dog lives, and I have photos of it in my backyard.<br /><br />Until I actually see the dog with my chicken in its mouth, there is nothing they can do.<br /><br />But what about my children who play in their backyard? What about your grandchildren. We have a dog and he doesn't get out. Not ever.<br /><br />I am so sorry this happened to you and I hope your poor little goats are not too traumatised. Call the council anyway and get this on record.<br /><br />So cranky for you. Sorry for the rant :)<br /><br />Oh and get a little pellet gun :DAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072118694728610270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-1879021534704274402011-07-17T16:15:30.624+10:002011-07-17T16:15:30.624+10:00Oh Hazel, you poor thing.

I had to chase it off with a stick and the wounds around our dog's neck were very similiar. It was quite frightening.<br />Even though your goats were on public land, all dogs should be contained or on a leash...for their own safety and for the safety of others.<br />I would keep an eye out from now on, now that the dogs know where your goats are they will be back.<br />Keep the phone number of the local pound handy also just in case the dogs are on your land. <br />Hugs to your goats .<br />kimxKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958193502828236814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-86615847418088971132011-07-17T16:11:31.655+10:002011-07-17T16:11:31.655+10:00I was only joking about the roast goat.
