Ok so yesterday i get up at 5am and go about my normal morning business when i hear my dogs start going off.. So i run round to see what is happening to find a Pitbull x pig dog looking thing belting the living poop out of one of my working collie girls. So my first instinct is to get it off but it saw me coming and dropped my girl and took off... Had dug in to the pen. My missus is a vet nurse and took the dog to work with her... $300 later after a discount on sewing the dogs face and leg back together. 2 Hrs later the dog was back but this time go into the pen with my Koolie girl and my Collie Entire dog. Big mistake my koolie to used to hanging onto bulls noses and the collie boy even though only 12 mnths old is very protective of his girls. Although the dog was twice the size of both of mine my dogs pinned in after a struggle, although i didnt want to risk it hurting my dogs any more, it took a lot to seperate them with me being bitten by the other dog in the process on my left leg. No stitches for me just a bandaid... but in the whole process of getting bitten i let it go and it got out again, so i got on my quad with my gun ( sorry but it was on my property) but coulnt find it. 3 hours later i heard a gun shot from the property behind me and sure enough they came round and asked if it was mine and i told them what had happened... Apparently it had slaughted 9 of their goats the previous night, ripped their faces off and left them to die in the paddock. We are still looking for the owener of the dog, but there are so many pig dogs that go missing on a chase and never come back in this area, but still it isnt good enough, im now down one working dog, and out of pocket at least $300 if no further infection comes about.
So just want to say to people out there please PLEASE keep you dogs contained, and if you are pigging make sure you find your dogs, unfortunately this dogs was put down and i dont like the idea of putting someone elses dog down but i will if it protects my stock and my dogs.
Have attached some pics of the damage to my dogs face from only 2 mins!.
Thanks just needed to winge bout it

p.s sorry bout the quality of the pic, dog doesnt really want to pose at the moment! Andthe normal bucket is because the normal dog collars she can get off and she isnt allowed to get to the drain put in the side of her face to prevent wound from forming an infection.
