Default Which Sign Will You Buy?
I have a sign on the fence to my yard that says "Warning - Beware of Dog - Warning", I think it's the most common sign around, since it's normally sold at home improvement stores...

I was riding around and saw a sign that said "Guard Dog on Duty", I thought it was much less offensive, then "Warning - Beware of Dog - Warning", the warning sign makes it sound like my dog is vicious.


So I did a search and found a few for sale on ebay, which one do you think I should get?

Read the next post also, I'm attaching the remaining images..

If you know of another place where I can buy a few good signs from let me know. I would like to get 3 of them.. Both sides and the back of my fence.

Warning signs do more bad than they do good.
Like Beware Of Dog.. they tell you that you should put one up to let people know that you have a dog that would potentially bite/attack someone.
If the dog does end up biting someone and you have the sign up, guess what, that sign is you admitting that you own a dog that is considered dangerous. Thus making you liable for damages.......
Comes back to bite you in the ass.

Thats funny.. Cause alot of places require you to have those signs posted for insurance purposes.

I agree with Adrianne, I would have a "dog on property" sign rather than "guard dog on duty"

I have had animal control officers tell a friend and myself that people with guard dogs or a watchdog should post such a sign on their property. From my research upon this topic of beware of dog signs, it's going to depend based on the laws in your area regarding how liable you will be for dangerous dogs to begin with.

I never got this cleared up, but was told that having one of these signs, to a lawyer, says, you are admitting you have a dangerous dog and in todays sue all society, that would work against you.
Maybe your local laws have a more clear understanding of this.

But I always like the one that says "Don't jump this fence, unless you can get across the field in 9 seconds... The bull can do it in 10"

We were told the same thing about "Warning" signs for our dogs. Because at on time my ex was on probation, he was required to put up some type of sign so that the officers coming by would know there were dogs there. We opted for the "Dog on Property" signs and have just kept them.

But we are a little deceitful as there is more than 1 dog they will have to deal with.

This one would be perfect. lol.

I don't like the others, besides the "Pit Bull X-ing"...Dog on Property is a good one...But the rest aren't the best idea....If I did have a Guardian breed, like 6pack said, I am not going to warn them that I have a guard dog. I would put up a "dog on property" but that's all.

I like the signs that just say "Dog on property" I think its enough to warn people that there is a dog loose but does not make any subjective statement about the level of safety/danger your dog poses.

When my GSD was napping and a POS came and tried stealing my neighbor's scooter, uh I didn't wake the dog up, we had a .357 for that..

My favorite sign:

Trespassers will be shot.
Survivors will be shot again!


I normally just use "No Trespassing". But found a few Greyhound signs I liked, basically stating to fast dogs in yard, please keep gate shut. Although I normally padlock the gate b/c I don't trust people. My entire yard is fenced. Fedex drops my packages off at the gate. UPS throws them over the fence and runs! Chinese food and Pizza delivery people stand over in my neighbors yard and wait for me to come to them!

My grandpa had this sign - except it said "Never mind the dog, beware of owner" and the gun.

As odd as it sounds you just made me smile - its nice to remember and think about him. He was tough as nails.
