We had a husky on our property the other day and in the few minutes it was here, it broke apart our guinea pig cage and killed on of the gps. Didn't eat it, just killed it and left it. I've never seen the dog before and don't know who it belongs to. We live in rural NZ so it could have come on a nice run over the hills and far away. I very much doubt it belongs to one of our close neighbours although intend to ask around.
I was concerned in case the dog came back and killed the other piggie or broke into the chicken run and slaughtered the chooks. Then I told my mum and she has worried me saying that it's a 'dangerous dog' and my golden retriever and even the children could be at risk. Are huskies likely to be this dangerous? I know any dog could be, but are they a dangerous breed?
There is no way I can fence 2 acres to be husky-proof. I could electrify the fence line, but if it jumps over this won't help (do they jump or squeeze? - my dog is a squeezer!). Dogs are supposed to be registered in NZ so I'll call the council in case they have had other complaints in the area, but doubt they'll be much help if not.

The doghouse
How 'bad' are huskies? (don't worry, I don't want one!)
