so there was a stray rottweiler roaming around my neighbors yard the other day, my house is behind theirs. they leave their front gate open. i think the dog smelled mine or something and was trying to get into my yard under the fence. I came outside to see what was going on and noticed the dog was male which wouldnt have been good if it got in my yard at all. then once it saw me it was barking all crazy and acting real aggressive towards me. it was acting like my neighbors yard was its own yard or something. so i called my neighbors and let them know not to come outside cause they have kids and i think if they came into their own yard when this dog was in it, by the way it acted towards me, they probably would have spooked it and got bitten. just a sotry to share. i think it may be the ppl down the streets dog, they have a rott, i think it may have gotten out.

Stray dogs are very annoying and sometimes dangerous. In my area some people have had their livestock preyed on by uncontrolled dogs running in packs. Several have lost goats and sheep - I lost 3 sheep due to my fencing preventing my dogs from engaging. The next day when the dogs game back to kill more sheep - I shot them. There is a wonderful piece of legislation in TX that permits the terminating of stray dogs that endanger you or your property. Check the laws in your area pertaining to uncontrolled dogs to see what your rights are. -
i would feel bad to shoot a stray dog, even if it was attacking my livestock. I would prefer to find a alternative solution to shooting them but if I had to I would. I was worried that my neighbor or his kids may come out and get bit, the only thing i could think of doing if that happened would be to let my dogs loose if that did happen. I didnt even want to shoot the stray cat. I dont like cats much, but now I have a new pet....lol.

If I saw anywhere up to ten stray dogs (even aggressive ones), (imaginatively one hundred, or so) I would take them in willingly, provided they come to me.

In our case our neighbor let his GSP X breed with his lab X, repeatedly. I think at one point there were more than 20 dogs. I know for a fact that he couldn't feed them all, so they roamed the hills, killing cattle and deer on three ranges. The ranchers paid my husband a bounty for every dog he killed. We warned our neighbor, the old a-hole said shoot 'em all if you want. I shot at them one day when they were on our place. I phoned the rancher to come get his calf, or what was left of it. No ears or tail left and only one eye. It was hideous. The dogs did eventually all get shot or trapped. To this day I blame the neighbor, not the dogs. Luckily he left the valley.

the dogs were just trying to survive. its pretty much the same in my area. theres a wash that runs directly behind my house all the way up to big bear. lots of coyotes and stray dogs living in there. the people around here that own dogs let them live outside like outdoor cats. so you end up with feral dogs, and just outside dogs breeding, forming packs etc. theres lots of truckyards here too, some of them feed the dogs a bit im sure but no way they can feed ALL the dogs. so you have strays, ferals, and like borderline feral dogs i guess.
