That’s a 140 lb dog, I would be reluctant to him with a short.
I use the 110 conibear to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeder (although generally they get it going down the pole). Maybe a double spring does the job better than that single spring does.
I was going to take off his collar and drop him at the pound. I wonder if I would have to give my name. If he had an ID chip it would cost them $200 recovery and fine.

The problem with some of these remedies, is that the wrong critter is being punished. Owners deserve a lot more of the "credit" for raisng "dumb" animals in most cases.

It would not solve the problem. He has a friend that breeds them and they just get another. the devil you know is better than the one you don't.

I had a neighbor a few years ago with a German Sheppard. The first time he killed my chickens, I ask him to put her up. The second time I explained it to him this way.

If my chickens come in your yard, enjoy the chicken stew. If your dog comes in my yard, it will be a one way trip.
It solved my problem.

My definition is a piece of bread.. buttered on both sides with a hole cut out in the middle.. toss it in a frying pan and pour an egg into the hole.. flip when browned..    add syrup of choice and eat!!!
    Also works really well when fried in bacon grease!
