[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3154781, member: 43754"] I am getting ready to install my third fence. First fence was around my 5 acre home site in 1998 and controlled three rat terrier trained to catch and kill gophers (Richardson Ground Squirrels), Rock Chucks and rabbits on sight. They were extremely tenacious and aggressive about pursuing these pests in the grain fields. I had two two females and a male. All were trained on leash about the fence and quickly learned how close they could get to the fence. The Male however would run through the fence if he saw a rabbit. If he saw a rabbit, nothing stopped him. After catching or loosing the rabbit he would come back to the out side of the fence and sit and whine until the collar was removed so he could go back inside the perimeter on his own. He would not approach the fence for any other reason. Second fence was installed on 15 acres at my friends house in 2013 to control 2 Decker Rat Terriers, 2 Airedales and one Jagdterrier. These dogs were used for denning coyotes around sheep ranches. The Jagdterrier had experience with predator fences around sheep so electricity didn't phase him, but he didn't like the collar but would stop when iyt buzzed and before shock. We didn't trust him. He was always getting in fights with the other dogs so he was kept kenneled unless working. He was a real B/A little dog and could flat clean out a coyote den. The two Airedales at first weren't phased by the collars even when the collars were turned up to full power. Then we got some longer studs and that fence became like a brick wall for those two. The Deckers caught on real quick and were never a problem. I was up at my friends place in August to visit his widow. The Jagdterrier and one Airedale are gone now. The two Deckers still stay away from the fence, but my friends Widow said the Airdale has been getting out. I checked his collar and the battery was dead. Checked the two Decker collars and those batteries were dead also. Changed them out. The Airedale wander toward the line and must have heard the warning buzz, because he slammed on the brakes and moved away. I now have moved to OK and have no need for a hunting dog. Wife got me Cavalier King Spaniel lap dog. Dog doesn't know she is a lap dog and likes to run and chase. If the door opens a crack she is out. Based on my past experience, I bought another fence.
