What is the name of your state? CA
We own a single family home, and live in it Husband, Wife (me) -1 cat and 2 dogs. Our dogs consist of 1 2 year old doberman mix, and the other is a 9 year old docile brindle pit bull.
They have a dog run, and get walks every day, and sleep in our bedroom with us. Basically spoiled, and very sweet dogs.
Our neighbors on one side of us, have 1 or 2 vicious dogs. Their dogs are currently eating a hole in the wooden brand new fence. We recently bought the home, so we do not know who initially installed the fence, which is located in the front yard, next to our front door, it seperates our house from theirs, and on the other side of the fence is where the neighbors leave there dogs forever, never to be walked or even to be petted etc...basically ignored vicious dogs.
Our dogs have no access to this area, unless leashed and harnessed, this is an area where our backyards do not access, but, we have a hole in the fence in the backyard where these same dogs chewed a hole, the previous owner put up a board and screwed it down, we thought it was for privacy
(we have a pool/spa) but realized it was from the neighbors dogs.
They also bark and chew at the fence acting very aggressive and vicious when we enter or leave out the front door, when the mailman delivers the mail, when I open the door for air, to get the mail etc...
Before the dogs eat the fence (maybe a month away) what do we do?
I will bring a lawsuit if I get bitten, or if one or both of there dogs injures my pets or me or my husband. What if an attack occurs and we defend our pets/selves and kill the dog(s)???
Should we take picures of the damage, we do not own a camcorder, but, may make arrangements to document events for our protection?
One last note, the neighbors are of Hispanic decent, and we do not speak Spanish. So we do not communicate with them at all.
Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
