I have a 1 year old Mini Dachshund, and a new 2 month old PittBull puppy. They have stated to me when I got the puppy that they were scared to have a pittbull in the neighborhood. Well, I have had them all of my life, and raised and trained them well. I also have a cat, and am not worried about him also. I have no qualms about her being around my yound daughter or anyone elses. It has been proven, by myself and I am sure many others that you can raise a pittbull not to be violent. Anyway, I assured them she would be aclamated to their dogs, children, and she would always be in her own fenced yard and if they were still scared they should not let their children jump my fence to take the short cut to the park. Well this was about 2 weeks ago, and this morning I found a small dish of what seems to be antifreeze stuck under my fence between my home and theirs. I called the sheriffs Department and they said they could not do anything because I cannot prove they did it, and my dogs did not get into it or get hurt. I am furious! There is no other way it could have gotten there as it is between two fenced in locked yards. The only reason my babies did not get into it is because I kept them in until I could go out with them this morning. I am not sure the exact effects of antifreeze on a dog, but have heard it will kill them. What in the world am I to do now? I will not get rid of my dogs, and I will not allow these people to hurt them. How do you suggest I take care of this? Thanks in advance and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Antifreeze will kill them. You need to approach your neighbours about the issue. Maybe you can hand them the dish you found and say 'Missing something?' You have to tell them that you are watching them. you know what they are doing, and that if they try it again you'll all the cops.

What a barbaric thing to do... not agree with your breed of dog, so try and kill them both? They sound crazy to me.

Poor doggies! Just tell them quietly to leave you and your dogs alone and that you know they gave them antifreeze, tell them it's very cruel and threaten you will call the police if they do it again!

This is a hard one to respond to. . .I understand both sides of the situation. Even though you haven't seen your dog Exhibit any kind of violence doesn't mean he/she is incapable of it. You see it over and over again in the news where the owner says "my dog never did this before,etc."
The only solutions I can think of are to always go out with your dogs and check the perimeter of your yard to make sure there is nothing in your yard to harm them. I don't think you need to stay out with your dogs after that because I think your neighbors are to afraid of the dogs to stick their arms under your fence while the dogs are out and about.

Outside of that is there any chance you can move? I know this is extremem but I'm also a dog lover and know that I would do almost anything for their safety?

They are not scared of my dogs, they play with them through the fence all of the time. They are two faced like that. I have seen the dad petting both, now this scares me as he has ulterior motives. I am just going to insure their safety in any case.

i'm sorry to say this but...a dog is an animal...animals are unpredictable. even your pitbull, while it may be the nicest thing in the world to you it would probably kill someone else if provoked. one of my old roommates had one and claimed that it wouldn't hurt a fly, however, every time i was near her, the dog became very, very protective of her. it's true that all dogs are protective of their masters, but there are only a few dogs that can do a lot of damage, one of them being a pitbull.

it's a sad world when your neighbors attempt to murder your animal though, and they should be punished for it. i would take the antifreeze to your neighbors house and ask if they did it.

I agree with the camera idea. Then, if you catch them, and they are charged, I would also file a civil suit against them for enough to cover the cost of the camera equipment.

I know! People are just so scared of Pitbulls I dont understand why! I mean I know their jaws lock and all, but that will only happen if they are triggered by something they dont like. Im a dog breeder and I can honestly say that a pitbull is not only one of the smartest of dogs, but they are also one of the sweetest, if not the sweetest of them all. And its really true. Some people just stereotype. They didn't know that cats are more dangerous sometimes because even their claws have rabies. If youre good to dogs, they wont bite and theyll protect you even more.

Their jaws can't lock. That's a myth. Their jaws are the same as any other dog's. But that's great that you don't hate them. I love them. I have 4!
