My next door neighbor loses a chicken to Fox every 3-4 months. 5 years and not a one. We’ve had deer and elk jump the fence but the coyotes stay away. We did have a rabid skunk this spring. He died when he drowned in the neighbors goldfish pond.
I use the pigs to clean up the orchard. Makes them taste better too when the time comes.

I noted that point about the Akita dogs. I've seen some here, but rare in these parts. Pretty cool dogs and very aggressive too. They remind me of a northern dog, like a husky, but different. Maybe from Akita Ken? I'll check it out. My neighbor had one a few years ago. Those dogs are like ferocious and predatory. They don't really belong in the city, like a Japanese city. Saying Akita ken is just bs on my part. Just rings a bell. I'll check it out.
Cheers!
ps forgot to say, read a couple months ago on news, in US a girl tried to take one home from an animal shelter, and when she got near, dog took half her face off!
