Years ago before divorce, alimony and child support ,I had protection dogs
and my insurance agent told me to take the signs down for reasons Penny
mentioned, so I did; but to cover myself and alert folks of my dogs I put up
a sign that said " Don't worry about the dogs watch out for the owner" my
agent agreed that this sign was okay! When I moved 12 years ago to where I
live now I have NO signs posted except for my security house signs. Ed

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Signs--seriously.
How many out there in shepherd-land have "Beware of Dog" signs or other
such warnings on your property? The reason I ask is that recently in one of
my horse magazines I read of a case where a "Don't Touch The Horses" sign at
a farm in CT helped prove a prosecutor's (vicious horse) case. A small
boy was held up by his father to pet a horse inside a paddock, despite the
prominent sign on the fence telling people not to do this. The boy was
bitten in the cheek and required several surgeries and is scarred for life.
(Naturally, as human beings we feel terrible for this boy.) The parents sued
AND WON. The prosecutor argued that THE SIGN meant that the owners of the
farm KNEW their horses could act in a vicious manner.
This has troubled me ever since I read it. Years ago, I remember an
attorney giving a talk about "signs" at a dog club. She said that under no
circumstances should any kennel or dog facility put up Beware of Dog signs, as
the sign would be acknowledging there could be a possible problem. I post
no signs. I've luckily never had an issue. How do the rest of you feel?
