Good luck.
Im in the middle of something similar with a neighbor and dogs.
Document everything, and prepare for it to go on for a long time.
I have video, pictures, police reports, 6 witnesses, 2 Sheriffs, and one animal control officer all on my side, and as witnesses. Still not anywhere close to a resolution.
It's just not as easy as people think.

Well the sheriff has been notified. He said he would give him a warning and the next time I see them on my property that they will issue him a ticket. So I guess the ball is rolling so time will tell.

Let's see
1) Viscious dogs at large
2) Unable to contain said dogs on their property
3) Injury to you "docile" pets
4) Potential for neighbors dogs to attack you or family members

5) Solution- Shoot them. Numerous warning have been given both by you & Law Enforcement. As long as you have not said to LE or Neighbor, you would shoot the animals follow deadly force guidelines
Threat, or what you perceived to be a threat constitutes use of deadly force, AS NECESSARY!

You do what you think is right. HOWEVER after more than one Viscous attack on your "Family pets" I'd say you have more then good grounds to do what is necessary.

The three "S's" : Shoot, Shovel and Shut up.

Twenty years ago the Elbert county Sheriff told my dad to shoot dogs causing problems like eating our chickens, ducks, etc. Too many city folk out there now.

Ok. Everyone needs to keep this civil. That means no suggestions of anything illegal or cruel. And no attacks at each other either.

If you shoot his dogs, yours will end up dead too. If he doesn't care about his dogs, you can be sure he cares even less about yours, so I don't recommend the shooting route. Get a video camera to record what's going on all the time on that side of the house and get the sheriff and/or animal control involved each and every time there's a problem.

Ticket won't stand, and probably won't even be given. His word against yours.
Gotta have proof, proof has to be time and date stamped, proof has to absolutely prove it was on your property, you have to able to prove you didn't bait or call the dogs over, proof has to prove it is a habitual problem..... do I sound bitter????

I have pics that are date stamped. I can get pics everyday if need be. The dogs have regular bowel movements on my property.
