Case the loss of a few chickens is worth shooting a dog over...go up to the owener and demand he pays for the hurt or killed chickens or call the cops. What are they, $7/each now?
If its my chickens doggie is DRT .... no questions asked.

In British Columbia, at least, no hunter is allowed to shoot a dog, just because the dog is chasing wildlife.
When the hunter training CORE program came out, the instructors thought they had the right to do such things as shoot a dog that was harassing game, but the game department put us straight on that one. You guys have no more rights than any other hunter. Illegal to shoot the dog.

You might want to make sure there's no trapping going on in your area. I've caught a few dogs in wolf and coyote snares over the years. None were pets,all were strays. That said, it's better to keep an eye on them to prevent a mishap.
Cat has a good plan of attack here. I do that when I porcupine proof my dogs (a lab and duck tollers). The buzz collar set on death ray has my retrievers thinking every porcupine in the country is related to the devil.
Now if I could skunk proof my 6 year old duck toller. The drive home from a few grouse hunts has been a bit stinky. Luckily tomato juice and my daughter's shampoo always works to get the funk out.

Do the shock collars work on wives/girlfriends???
Probably but much harder to get her to wear it!

PS. I'll take that dog on the right if he runs deer for 20 mins & comes right back, a better deer dog than that can't be found
The one on the right is Sierra, Whiskeys on the left both are fixed females, Sierra is the one that usually instigates the whole thing Whiskey is the follower when it comes time to chase (squirrels,Ravens, Rabbits,and yes deer if they get the chance) even though Whiskey is the more dominant one.
They of course only run when I'm with them out for there daily walks or when I'm out shooting at my Gong.....by the way I'm out to 550 now with 5 out of 5 hits off a three legged converted camera tripod sitting down
which is not bad for an old fart.Cheers

Unless I miss my guess, dog owner gets the bill if pooch decides to run a herd of cows on private land and there is enough calves lost or stillborn to be able to prove it from that incident.
Beef is running $1.35-$1.50 for Black Angus and you may not get the option of paying birth weight, but whatever the farmer happens to ship at, like 400 lbs or 750 minus whatever feed they would've needed.
500 lbs X $1.40/lbs = $700 per calf, a dog running a herd on a quarter, generally 40 head around here could cause a 50% loss if the cows get sweated up. 20 X $700 = $14000
$14000, is what you would be liable for if it were proven. Not really likely to prove it, but things would likely get chilly around the neighbourhood and in town. THere is a 0% chance you would get access to anybodies land to hunt as well, the following hunting season. Rural folks get really cranky about that stuff.
I know, its all bad at this point, training is far better.
You'd likely be better off to shoot the dog yourself if facing this(proven already) since that would most likely satisfy the cattle owner, along with a reasonable sum of money. Pay newborn calf prices not finished feeders etc. ABout $200-$250 each. You'd still be out $4-5000 and your pet. In the event it went to court and you were found liable, I'm not sure if the court can order a pet put down for damage to livestock or not.
Training is far superior to any of this, obviously.

so with your logic if my "pet" rooster goes over to your houses kicks the crap out of your mixed beagle/####us cross and it dies from an infection you would desire only the fees that it costs from the local impound to replace it.
to even have the mind set to think that my personal carrot patch on MY land bought with MY money is less important the your unruly animal is not only disrespectful but a disgrace to man.
an old saying "a dog is only as smart as its owner"
most farm dogs, true farm dogs, are very smart. the reason for this is because farmers haven't lost sight of the purpose of the animal. so when a dog proves retarded it was introducted to either a shovel, hammer, ax or basicaly any blunt stout object that would cross the eyes fer good.
