Sad as it is, I would MUCH rather have a neighbor mad at me than have some dogs terrorizing me, my pets and my livestock. Three S Program... I like that.
Chicken wire is BLA! LOL We made some hutches with it once... HAHAHA THAT was a joke. The rabbits litterally chewed through it! I much prefer good, heavy duty hardware cloth. And hotwire is wonderful. I have one of those dogs that will kill my livestock if I am not watching her like a hawk. So our dog yard is 6' high chainlink with a low wire to prevent digging, another wire about a foot up from that to prevent her pulling apart the chainling (oh yes, she has done that many times) and a top wire to keep her from climbing. Add a 2 Joule, 50-mile fencer to that and the dogs don't go near the fence
