If you are not able to raise dogs in such a way, in my opinion, use a leash. If pup chokes chickens in the village a kilometer away from the owner, then Garmin GPS can make it easier to follow the dog, and then to pay for the poultry and possibly pay a fine. What do you think?

Dog turns up on my place being like "your mates dog" I'm shooting the dog, and then giving it's owner a hiding.
