    I hear alpaca are ment to be very effective for protecting your land or castle. And you can't put an alpaca before a judge and jury. Plus you can sell their wool! Who needs guns when you have a well trained and loyal alpaca.
    :yay:

    Exactly. They come complete with their own DNA identification spray. Plus they are gorgeous and have a fearsome battle cry!

    Apparently the best deterrent is a dog, big or small, because they are NOISY!! A burglar has NO chance of not waking the dog up, my husband used to say that our Cocker spaniel would hear if a flea farted!!! :heehee::loll:

      Hmmm, maybe I'll think again about being a burglar when I grow up. I was hoping for at least Aunt Bessie standard :)

        Some years ago we had a Lurcher, he slept in his bed next to the TV
        One morning we woke up and the window was open, the TV, Video, and trinkets were missing and Foxy the Lurcher seeking his breakfast, just a pity it was not the thief for breakfast

          My house was broken into last night by two robbers who locked me in the bathroom, and proceeded to steal all they could carry.

          My watchdog, "Killer", did not alert me, and for this reason I'm giving him away.

          I no longer want a dog - I'm installing an electric fence and detection devices with alarms.

          They're cheaper in the long run and more reliable.


          For those interested in adopting "Killer"
          ...e-mail me ASAP.


          A photo of "Killer" is attached below.

          He does have a few problems………………………….


          .....but with a little help he should be OK!!

            To good home--excellent guard dog.Owner cannot afford to feed him anymore, as there are no more drug pushers, thieves, murderers, or molesters left in the neighborhood for him to eat.Most of them knew Jethro only by his Oriental street name: Ho Lee Schitt.
