Did you see this? The dog's a chicken killer and, after the second slaughter episode, animal control picked him up. So the whole country is in an uproar about the fate of this dog. I saw this morning the dog was given another chance but it has to go live somewhere else. When they showed a video of the dog being released, that dog was an unruly handfull on a leash. No way did his owners have control of him. Husky rescues were going to bat for him. In the video was another husky walking calmly with its handler as the star of the show looked totally NOT leash broke.
If your dog kills livestock you have to take action. You can't excuse it because it's "just a chicken". I had a chicken killer myself, my little Max dog. When I realized what was going on I took action to ensure he stayed on my property. If he ever got loose I got in the car and went straight to Chicken Man's house to warn him and look for Max. That was seldom.
Sorry to husky lovers but imo those dogs belong in the snow pulling a sled. And they shed worse than any dog in the world. But they're gorgeous. Dog breeds are meant for different purposes. I wish people would remember that when they choose a dog.
