My dogs have been around goats before, never had an issue with them. A few days ago I come home to two dead goats.
My male goat broke the gate latch by ramming the gate. Not sure what happen one they got into the dogs yard.
A part of me says dogs will be dogs, they chase prey animals. But also concerned that they might have developed a taste for blood. They have always been great with my kids and I love my dogs, it’s hard trusting them right now. I never leave the dogs with my girls unattended, but it only takes a second for something to happen.
Any opinions. I don’t plan on getting anymore livestock. I’m just not sure if I should get rid of the dogs for the kids sake. I’ve never had any like this happen. Sure a dog fight once in a while, but nothing to serious.
