We have a bobcat problem. At night I can hear her out there yowling.
Last summer she had a litter and she decided that our farm was the
local meat market. The guineas that roosted in the peach tree
dropped in population one at a time. When the chickens didn't get
locked up at night, they got eaten. My neighbor (about half a mile
away) complained yesterday that all of his geese were gone.

So, I'm looking for a good dog. I had a Komondor, and never lost an
animal from predators, but several years ago he got bit on the nose
by a copperhead and quickly died.
