Cheers...
I was thinking of two A3 sized signs.
One with this text:
DO NOT ENTER
Rottweiler Dogs at Play
Stand Back From
Gate & Use Intercom
The other with:
DO NOT ENTER
Rottweiler Dogs at Play
Stand Back From Gate
& Use Top Entrance
I'd previously thought about going the vinyl lettering route... white lettering on a forest-green acrylic board.

Locost way could be to print from a computer and use an A3 laminator pouch over it, we have signs at work on the front of the building like this and
they weather quite well.
Mind you, you would need someone that can print A3 and laminate but most offices have these sort of machines, good luck.
Give a man a fish & it will feed him for a day, give him a fishing rod & you've saved a fish.

How about "One Way"?
So people will know if they come in here there's only one way out, in a bodybag!

That's the worry!
The youngest dog was a complete sweetie... right up until we fenced / gated the garden! Since then she's made it clear that the garden IS HERS!
You come in... it's on HER TERMS!

Never really know what the point in these signs is.
If you have a soft dog, they make it look like your compensating
I you have a dangours dog they wont help you in court one bit
and without a dog they make you look like a bit of a birk...!

I like the ones with "My (insert breed) can make it to the gate in 2.4 seconds. Can you?" on them.

Then let me help you out a bit...
I love my dog and wouldn't want to see it destroyed just because (in its mind) it's defending me and its territory. I am also a
responsible owner, and I wouldn't want some random visitor bitten.
Soooo... I have spent some of my money to fence the dog in and put up an intercom. The sign is to be placed at the exact point of entry and is making
it plain... don't come in - there is a hazard! Use the intercom! If someone then disregards the sign and wanders in, then I think I have done
my bit, and I would hope that a court would recognize this (history shows they do).

I'd be most surprised if a blind person made it to my house without a normally-sighted person. I live out in the country!

Hi, I had a similar issue with my border collie about 5 years ago.
a 12 yr old girl was posting leaflets around the estate. She pushed the leaflet through my letter box, but pushed her had right the way in. The dog
saw this as a threat, so she bit them.....
The mother came round later that evening and asked what I was going to do about my dangerous dog. So I laughed at her, a lot!!!! My response was along
the lines of, "hang on a minute, your 12 yr old daughter wasnt properly supervised, came onto my property unsolicited, unannounced and unwanted.
She then sticks her hand into my house and is surprised she got bitten! my dog was defending her space." She wasn't happy with that
response and mentioned dangerous dogs act.
Next day the police came around and opened with the line "Were here because some stupid woman has made a complaint and we have to come."
So I pretty much knew what they were going to say about it all. There response was the dangerous dogs act, which does give police the power to destroy
your dog, only applies to dogs that are out of control in public areas. As your garden is not public it doesn't apply.
I realise that you would know all this anyway Scott, but i thought it was a good example of a practical scenario.

could you not put a remote controlled lock on the gate then visitors would have to use the intercom for you to unlock the gate?
Denis.
Where did that go?

Cheers guys... interesting thought on the remote controlled lock - will have a look into that one (it's two wooden swing gates that meet in the
middle, so not the easiest to cater for, but there's bound to be something available).

If thats the case then fair do's. It certainly works in my mind, but come sense doesnt always apply.

Ive a 1yr old rottie and seen the funniest thing yesterday
me and the misses where taking the dog to the beach when we met a friend along the way and where stood there chatting
kid comes along on his scooter and almost crashes in the the side of the dog (trying to be clever), dog barked like mad at him, kid stood there and
cried - i told him to stop being a fanny and have a bit more sense when riding his scooter around dogs - made my day
