Re: Potential dog problem......
If his dog enters your land and is eaten by your rotties then I think he will be hard pressed to find a cause of action against you -- i.e., his loss. If your dogs enter neighbor 2's land and do any damage including hurting the poor defenseless "tea cup," you will be without a paddle. Better shore up that fence. Also, I don't think you have any right to complain to neighbor 1 or neighbor 2 about the little dog, that is none of your business and is between them.
