Irresponsible Dog Owners.

Find a mate with a rifle, kill the dogs next time they come on to your property. If you know where the dogs come from, contact the owner to state your case. Be careful, not all owners of these dogs are nice people. If you do shoot them, bury them deep , and say nothing. I have to ask the question, how did you identify the owners? Do you have the right dogs? If, as you say, the council identified the dogs owners just by the description given by you, they must have history. Or, they are feral, and if so, fair game. Bob

Any animal attacking stock is fair game, collar or not.
Bury them deep with a sprinkling of lime, then just let the issue drop.

Unfortunately the area in question is plagued with pig dogs with very few responsible owners.
While ever pups are handed around free they have no value, unlike a good working dog.

quite simple, shoot on sight

My wife identified the dogs by showing neighbours the photo's
I neighbour recognised them as belonging to a person they know.
They were definitely not feral or wild, 1 had a dog coat on & both had collars.

lol.

Not quite what I had iin mind. :angel:

Borrow the dog traps from the council, but if you catch one, call a mate with a rifle...

If you are on a farm, then the ducks and geese are stock and the owner of the dogs is liable to compensate you for the loss of your stock.

yeah probably through civil action would be my guess

Don't you hate when they do that, I had a similar problem but since I moved it isn't on my mind anymore. Though I do feel sad that it happened

Sure you can, you just have to make the hole a little deeper, longer and use a fair bit more lime
