Good, bad, Jerry Springer worthy?
We have lived for almost eight years in what amounts to a rural trailer park with some houses thrown in the mix. The landlord who owns the majority of it is a slimy SOB whose Amstaff killed one of my goats and terrorized the area before he shot it for killing one of his llamas.
Our next door neighbor his a reclusive biker who had two older dogs when we moved in, an aggressive male ACD and a medium sized brown female mix. Both were allowed to wander the area. The female vanished one day and he came down to our place to ask if she had been around, we told him we hadn't seen her and he went away. Slimy landlord owns 50 aces that he allows anyone who rents from him to walk, hunt or 4 wheel on. I used to take the dogs up there until we had issues with stray dogs and shady people. One day,years after the female had vanished, Zane drug down the old dissected carcass of a dog that was all tangled up in what looked like a white clothesline. :suspicious:
A couple years ago he went out and bought a female Rottie pup. At this time he still had the aggressive ACD, but kept that dog in his house. The Rottie pup was left tied to his front step where she would periodically get loose and ignore him when he yelled her name. I got to meet her several times and she was a very friendly dog. The aggressive ACD vanished last year and he got a second Rottie, this one also female. Both of them are moved deeper into his property and now all I see is one of his family member's brown Doxie periodically being yelled at as it waddles away from them. Just this week he threatened to shoot and sic the dogs on a group of elementary aged kids looking for their dog.
A neighbor farther down the block has a mostly white pit mix that when it's not in their house, is left on a tie out by their backyard. This dog is hugely territorial and is severely DA. She (probably not spayed) is never walked and the only exercise she gets is when she breaks her tether and roams around their property. She has ambushed me and my, leashed, dogs several times.
A neighbor near our pasture has a B&W pittie named Rosco. This dog is an intact escape artist. He is super friendly, but just needs some exercise, obedience training, and neutering might also help.
Some people in this area appear to be good owners, but the majority buy a dog, don't speuter/take it to the vet, tie up or put it in a kennel and leave it to rot.
