You have to watch the 13 minute video to get a grasp at this amazing situation they have - this is reality to these folks. For some of us...maybe a reality check!

A glimpse from one side of the dog fence - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)


Just after dawn a blood-curdling howl tells Glen Coddington that the dingo is close.

Peering from his kitchen window, he spots a large yellow dog gliding in the shadows along the perimeter of the high-wire fence to the north.

Quickly and silently, like a trained assassin, Coddington pokes the barrel of his high-powered rifle through the window and at a range of 150 metres, levelled the crosshairs of his target and fires.

The dingo drops, instantly dead. The veteran hunter has claimed another scalp to go with the half a dozen hanging in his shed.

When we arrive soon after the dingo’s pelt, scalped from nose to tail, he hangs on a wire hook suspended from a tractor cabin.

“You missed the drama,” chides Coddington gently.

“I shot a big dog just before. And what’s worse it was on my side of the fence.”

Wild dogs on the southern side of the fence are a rarity but they exist and this one, evidently lovelorn, had been foolishly and fatally attracted by the presence of Coddington’s large pig dog ***** enclosed within the high tin fence surrounding his modest fibro-cement house.

Coddington is a maintenance man for the Great Barrier Fence, usually called the dog fence.

Its aim is to exclude Australia’s native dog - the feared and destructive enemy of the sheep farmer – from entering the vast rangelands and pastoral zones of New South Wales.

“If they didn’t have this fence I think there wouldn’t be a sheep in New South Wales, so it’s very important,” says Coddington, one of a dozen workers stationed at outposts along the entire length of the 1.8-metre high fence and responsible for its upkeep.

Thanks for the video Baz. Don't like seeing the pelts nor killing them but certainly understand the need for both.
The pup, what do you mean Dingo x? Dingo crossed with a cattle dog? (which there is Dingo in cattle dogs s from the start no?

Earlier this week Tank found out some animals play better than others!!! I'm glad the vet talked me into that rattlesnake vaccine. The first 48 hours were rough, but today at four days he's as good as new.
