Re: Way OT: electric dog restrainers.

["Eamon O'Gorman" <eamonogorman@xxxxxxx>]

Only one draw back with the electric fence.....Small, blond and two years
old, my daughter.... Still, it would put a stop to any thoughts of her
straying off to far (or chasing sheep for that matter. Might come in use in
about 16 yrs time though!!!!

Again, I'm not too keen on the idea of these things, but the local
farmers are very good neighbours, and me killing their sheep, and they
shooting my dog is bound to sour relations.. I'd appreciate some info on
the
one Alan is going to see tomorrow. I have a half acre site, which I guess I
will need to completely enclose with this thing.

Thanks
Eamon
