I have a very good friend of mine who is a Golden Retriever Breeder of 45
years.
She has a sign that is posted with the Name of her kennel and the words,
"This home is maintained for the comfort and security or our dogs. There
are loose dogs on the property If you don't like that then we suggest you
GO away.
Note , The above stated sign was approved by their Homeowners insurance
Company and Attorney,
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
