My two dogs can smell moccasins across the yard. They avoid them at all costs. They refuse to go in high grass & weeds any more.

I can always tell if a moccasin has been somewhere on the trail by the way my dogs act.

When Ricky was about 6 months old, a moccasin struck at him but did not connect. He bristled up like I've never seen him do before. He has avoided them ever since.

When we killed that alligator last Summer, neither dog would come near it.
