Not saying that German Shepherds don't cause trouble... BUT , we have had more problems with golden retrievers and huskies over the years than anything else... Pack mentality... and huskies will decimate chicken pens of chickens...
The owners are more to blame.....but the dogs need to be shot if they are caught doing anything... end of story.

Could be a regional thing - but then --- I never got goldens or huskies in for herding training , a Samoyed yes and was very nice (though I'm told they herd reindeer ). Definitely owners to blame, and of course most of them believe their dogs can and should be "free to roam".

It is understood that if a dog is after livestock, the dog will get shot.

I've never seen one around our place. But they are definitely up in the rocky hills, just a few miles away.

You all can keep the snakes. I'd rather have snow. No rattlesnakes here.

We're still green, though I can see the beginning of the brown. Most people can't see it - but when I'm out there walking I see it. Trying to enjoy the color while it lasts.

Beautiful. That last photo should be POW. Great rock shot.

So beautiful!

Uh oh, someone thinks they are a goat.

I hope you have a better year for moisture than it has been.

The spotted are standouts!! Nice contrast, don't just blend in with surroundings.

Out of the 11 they are three keepers for sure.
