Mine is there under the tail, RV-6 taildragger. GS/LOC multiplexer so it works for both. Many approaches, many hours, no problems, and minimal eyeball hazard.
Not many dogs around my place, and it would have to be a small one do be a danger, the ends are pretty close to the ground. On the list of things dogs can get into trouble with at airports, I would rate this one pretty low.I’m hopeful you don’t have a dog visiting your hangar at any point.

This is a bad idea.Has anyone mounted the com antenna in the wing tips? I'm thinking of mounting a com antenna in each wing tip and feeding both of them with some kind of rf splitter.
I mounted my VOR/LOC/GS antenna on the belly of my RV6 underneath the horizontal stab. Works perfect and no poked eyes in the last 25 years. See pic below.

Don’t forget to put eyeball protectors on them when parked. I know of one RV-6 builder that lost and eye while cleaning the belly of his plane.
