my favorite is "I can make it to the fence in 2.5 seconds. Can you?" with a silloutte of a GSD.
In my state, putting a sign up that states I have a potentially dangerous dog could have legal repercussions if someone were to get bitten on my property.![]()
Hahaha :rofl:Really? to me, putting up a sign should further waive your liability if a trespasser did get bit...
1.) it's your property. if they didnt' trespass they wouldn't get bit
2.) you're helping identify to the trespasser that this is not the best yard to trespass on. go find a yard without a GSD to trespass on lol
I guess I should have stated that the law pertains to my specific county.Really? to me, putting up a sign should further waive your liability if a trespasser did get bit...

While that is perfectly logical and you would think that is the way it would be, that isn't the way it really is. If you put up a sign of "Beware of Dog" then you are admitting that you have a potentially dangerous dog. So the mailman comes in, startles your GSD who has NEVER been aggressive towards anyone, he gets bit, you get sued and your dog gets euthanized.Really? to me, putting up a sign should further waive your liability if a trespasser did get bit...

A bite is a bite, I would recommend everyone check their local ordinance to be sure you won't be creating a larger issue for yourselves by putting up a sign.mailman i can see you and you dog getting in trouble.
but a burglar/trespasser? a dog wouldn't get euthanized for biting a trespasser right? if so, what kind of justice is that
i should add. i was envisioning a backyard trespasser, not a GSD sitting on the front porch chomping on girl scouts![]()
Wow! American Justice at it's finest. all i can say is if my dog bites some one who broke into my house, and the law wants to euthanize him....they'll have to euthanize me 1stThere have been cases where a burglar got hurt in the home they were robbing, sued and won. :shrug:.
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll fight them to the endWow! American Justice at it's finest. all i can say is if my dog bites some one who broke into my house, and the law wants to euthanize him....they'll have to euthanize me 1st
I knew I liked youI have a sign on my front gate, it has a picture of a pistol on it and states; "Warning, anyone found here at night, will be found here in the morning." I have a "Beware of Dog" on my back yard fence as well as a sign that has a picture of a person being electrocuted and states "Hot Fence". I have a "Beware of Livestock" (it has a picture of a crazy looking horse bucking) on the gate leading to the barn.
Hmmm, come to think of it, I don't have a "Welcome" sign anywhere. What does that say about me?
