How could I forget the cats? Not many in our campo. (Of course, the Dominicans say it’s because the Haitians eat them, but lots more dogs than Haitians).

I actually thought cats were a rare species in the dr....lol.
Apparently they are just wary of the dogs-----cant blame them.
Stray dogs to, give our place a wide berth.
As for chickens visiting my conuco, i am clear, i dont want anything or anyone on my land without my permission.
I have chickens........ in a chick coop/yard.......and surprise surprise, the dogs cant kill them if they cant get to them.
So fence in your bloody chickens in !!!
I also lost a dog to poison some time ago, a very sad affair. It did cross my mind it was because of the chickens and i issued a formal warning to all concerned ( its only 1 house next to me, and they are family ) : i would think nothing of taking revenge even if right after i had to ditch my SUV at the airport and never come back.
It turned out that quite a few "guard dogs " were poisoned that night in the area, so it was probably more crime related.
It also helps that my dogs have no way out, and i make it hard for stuff to get in.
As well as fencing in the conuco, i also planted mailla de leche years ago, and trim them at around 180-200 cm...... so even chickens have a hard time flying across.

I used to have a really sweet Rottie. Loved kids, would drag me into the vet to see her buddies, a real doll. I worked on a ranch for a few years and she'd spend her days in a large kennel. One day I found a poor rooster lying in the kennel, looked dead. Poor thing had gotten licked all over, looked like he'd been dunked in a bucket of goo. But he was alive. Little heart going a mile a minute. And she was very proud of herself, she'd neutralized the "intruder". Love rotties!

Boxers, they are said to be the "eternal teenager" of the dog world My Sister in Law has three (3) and they are the quintessential goober dogs, goofy as all hell but very loving and protective at the same time

Sometimes a puppy offers a better route...

The Cdn adoptiva... jumps through my bedroom window at the 1st crack of thunder

But she's a good dog otherwise
