What a stupid, pathetic country this is.
The moment we stop punishing people for the utter stupidity of others, the better. Guy deserves to lose his hand.
Man puts hand over my back gate, gets bitten by my dog....

The important bit there is:
But this is the worrying part, to protect the postman i assume?
:I'd like to think the Police would just turn to the "victim", shake their heads and leave.
What's wrong with wanting some dogs that do a better job than CCTV and alarms?And the bizarro comment of the day award goes to...
You didn't specify what you wanted until now
Could have been that you have a fetish for having your hands bitten...Define "better job"? Surely the dog's job is to warn-off anyone potential trespassers withy noise and aggression (not attacking). As said above, I'd worry about your dog's behaviour if when seeing a hand coming over the fence it's first reaction is to bite it.
100% agreed. This country is a joke.
Surely there is no value whatsoever in having a guard dog.
How can they "warn off" intruders when the intruder has more rights than the property owner? Let the dog bite you then sue the owner... profit.
Nope, not really. But personally I think society has moved on from needing violence as a deterrent. Having a violent guard dog is much like saying at work "touch my stuff and I'll punch you in the face". It's just stupid.
Rising crime rates say that you're clearly wrong.

An Englishman's home is his Castle. At the end of the day the OP had signs up beware of dog, the person tried to enter private property and the guardians of his castle retaliated to it. If the OPs get ****** over for this we need a reset button on this country. What a joke.
If the dogs are inside the house and you have signs up then I doubt too many people would try to gain access. I don't think breaking and entering covers gardens unfortunately.
Jesus some of the people in this thread.....
I feel sympathetic to the OP's concerns. But how in any way does the guy who reached his hand over 'deserve' to be bitten. He came round to inspect work done. He wasn't breaking and entering. He was coming, presumably, to make sure the work was satisfactory. Signs or no signs I don't think he deserves to lose his hand for that, as 1 of our high brow posters suggests.
Edit: as someone else above notes, if the dog is prone to bite purely at the sign of a strangers hand them I would suggest it is dangerous and needs securing. Heaven forbid some kid had kicked their football into the garden and came to retrieve it. Be ok if that kid go mauled?! Hypothetical of course.

Is it considered normal for kids to open gates and enter someone else's garden in 2018? Times have changed then, because as kids we wouldn't have been allowed to do that.
Anyway, aren't guard dogs supposed to be potentially dangerous? I thought that was part of the function of a guard dog...
It just seems that with intruders having so many rights these days, that having a guard dog capable of guarding anything would be a liability for the owner.

As a kid, no I wasn't allowed to but invariably if we lost our ball into someone's garden some unlucky one was chosen to go get it. Don't tell me as a kid you didn't things you weren't meant to?
They are White German Shepherds, bred to be protective and not aggressive (which is why you won’t see a white Shepherd used as a police dog)
My gate is nearly 7ft high with a small gap you can put your hand through to open the latch on the other side (padlocked anyway)
The plot thickens though,I’ve made enquiries and we’ve already had someone out to inspect the repair last week and the roofing contractors have no record of anybody calling today, the guy left no details and quickly left....
I’m beginning to wonder if he wasn’t genuine and trying it on? Casing the place maybe?
Anyway I’ve spoken to a friend who’s a Police Officer and she can’t see it being an an issue, I have a secure back garden with ample warnings and she thinks any investigation would conclude I’d taken reasonable steps to warn of the dogs within.
She doubts I’ll hear any more about it and is of the view he was an opportunist who got well & truly caught out.
