[Tink]

Thanks all. I've talked with them each time he's been here. I actually let the dog into my house so they can get him from here rather than having him run over out on the road while we wait for them to arrive. They know he's here 'cause they have to knock on my door to pick him up!

I've told them I have 3 female dogs and that I breed them so they will each be coming into season twice a year which is likely what's attracting him. BUT I said I have my own males and if he happens to hook up with one of them there will be a nasty fight which I do not want. Also I worry that the dog is going to get hit by a car on his way here. Tonight we did discuss that neutering him might be a good idea.

I hope they follow through. They seem like nice people, and I've been very decent about this, but it's getting old. My outside dogs just go ballistic when he shows up and then the inside ones start in to back the outside ones up. Naturally when anyone in the neighborhood sees a black lab running they assume its one of mine, so if I don't see him right away I sometimes get called about him too. I've tried to tell everyone my labs are all female... and do not wear shock collars. No way do I want their dog to tarnish my rep as I DO keep my dogs confined.
