I agree Jamie. I wouldn't have ANY trouble shooting whatever kind of dog came in my yard and mauled anything. I am currently angry at a fighting rooster that wants to kill my little silkie rooster. My little rooster is about 2.5 pounds of fluff. He is gentle and loves being petted but if this bad boy comes over that fence one more time and even attempts to get him he's a dead bird. Joe says he don't want to kill him and I told him you don't have to do it, I will.
