Yet another Dog attack

littlelab

I agree, there is a huge campaigne in the UK called Deed not Breed, as there are numerous council enforcing ridiculous rules on walking dogs in parks on lead at all times whatever the breed, it seems there is a full scale panic

If I may say so the UK seems far more inclined to overreact in these matters than my own country...

i think its time now for a special licence to own/breed/or sell dogs that have become child killers like the rotty has ! And if there was any infringement of the licence then there should be a minimum jail term attached ! this would stop these a-holes from owning such a powerfull breed! then only the right owners /breeders could have them ! in the last five years 10 have been killed by this breed Shocked

! most of these have been kids! Shocked

somthing needs to be done to stop these irresponsible people owning a potential killer or there will be more deaths !or if this seems harsh why not let us all own large mountain Cats as its the same thing Rolling Eyes

It is not the breeds fault it is the owner. I think all dog owners should be tested and checked out Smile

I do agree the wrong type of people own these dogs though for the image.

Its a funny old debate this
a few weeks ago a witnessd a dog attack in my local town centre it was horrific and i will never forget it for the rest of my life it was a neo mastiff that attacked and killed a papilion the lttle dog had no chance the neo was a big dog that was the first i had ever seen one he was a bueaty, the ownwer was a 60 year old man that was looking after the dog for his son and take s the dog there most sunny days but this day the dog attaked and it took 3 men to get the little dog from it gaws .

i do agree with licences for dogs any kind i am willing to pay but will that stop thre attacks?? pepo need to know the power of theses typ of breeds and understand them, i have 2 chihuahua and now i am scared to take them out now.

thats just what i think Smile

Sorry for dragging up an old post - BUT after what I've been through with Fudge I personally would like to see owners prosecuted not the animal having to pay the ultimate price. If everyone that was owned by an animal behaved like us (genuine, responsible, animal owned) then this kind of post would never have been here.

My kids volunteer at a local Dog Rescue Centre and every day they come home with stories of yet another Staff that has grown into the loving dog it can been but not been the fashion icon expected so abandoned!

If you want to Foster / Adopt a child you have to go through all sorts of interviews / checks but if you want to give a home to an animal that has the potential to kill (yeah they could if they wanted) all you need to do is say "Yes, I'll home it" and the problems really start.

This isn't a problem limited to rescue centres (who are usually so skint they are greatful for an animal being homed) but breeders as well who are not too worried about checking out new homes for their off spring and just glad of the quick profit.

I've probably said too much already - so I'm off to take a cold shower and cool off. Apologies to all who are genuine but things like this really really annoy me.

There is no such thing as a bad dog. They are born innocent; and are trained by Mum and humans ............... if they attack then a human has done something very very wrong x

OK - I'm off .... probably start a row not the intention tbis is just my personal view x

Every puppy born is a blank sheet.

The adult it becomes is down to the experiences it has during its puppyhood.

I would make it law that every puppy is microchipped and registered. The breeder would be on the puppy's registration and would become involved if any hereditary disease was diagnosed or if the dog fell foul of the dangerous dogs act.

This, I guarantee, would stop all the irresponsible breeders who over breed and do not vet the new homes their puppies go to.

We would be left with a small band of dedicated breeders who would only breed from healthy stock and sell to committed owners.

IT NOT THE DOGS
IT THE OWNERS
as we all know
some people don't have a clue when they get this dogs
some people just buy them to look hard a they walk down the street
when they look like silly twats but that what i think.

the other week when i was at work
someone brought there dog in for a some treatment
and said to the girl behind the decks that he was very friendly
she when round and put her hand out for the dog to sniff her hand as u do
and she when to strock him and he jump up and grab her arm. the owner pull him away and didn't make a fuss about it all she said was sorry
the girl all right now but just has a cut on her arm she when to hosp too.

but it was the owner falt as this dog dose have a histroy at going for people
so just keep a eye on what dogs are about that was just a GSh
