Pits and Dals are two of the most notorious climbers...at least for chain link. I had a stray pit I brought home one night -- I was out looking for two of mine, I pull into the school and see the Pit walking, I open the pickup door to see if she has any tags -- leaps over my lap, sits in the passenger seat, and looks at me, "Let's go!" Left a message with the Dog Warden, put her in my kennel. Out as soon as I turned my back... Put her in a plastic sided crate. She chewed through the side first time I left the house. Called the Dog Warden, Doug picked her and brought her to the Town Pound. Pound is in good shape, concrete floors, etc, 12' fence surrounds the whole thing. Before he gets to the pound the next day for the morning feed, he gets a call someone who had Pits had picked her 3 miles away -- and they kept her as they had a kennel specifically built to hold them. ===== ===== ===== === 'Nother time Doug adopts a female Dalmatian from the his pound. They raised Labs at home, so they have nice kennels, chain link, etc. Everyday gets a call that the Dal is loose in the neighborhood...not good for the regional Animal Control Lieutenant ;) They setup a video camera...soon as no one was home, she'd just scamper up the chainlink without a second thought and escape.
