Tbh I’ve never seen so many blokes walking small/very small dogs as I have in the last couple of years.

Rarely do I see a status dog around these parts. 

Maybe a decade ago but not now. 

Anyway correct decision being made re neutering & muzzling in public etc….

 

Putting them on a lead be a start, I’ve had a mad boxer dog running full pelt jumping up at me and slavering down my leg a number of times here, accompanied by the owner 50 yards away shouting he won’t hurt you just as I’m shaping to kick the fucker, gave her a right bollocking. Fucks me off… and don’t get me started on dog shit hanging from plastic bags in trees… WTF is that all about. Most dog owners get on my tits. Rant over. 🤣

When pups can be sold between 5 and 10k and you can get a grand a time for stud it becomes a licence to print money. 

Bloke on radio yesterday said his had just had 18 pups

Find it hard to believe, but if true, thats a whole load of cash

 

I dont think a ban works anyway

Theyre a mongrel when alls said and done

If somebody crosses one with a poodle, then what

Also, even if you could eradicate them, the scrotes will move on to something else

70s and 80s it was Doberman’s and Rotties, 90s Staffs, 2000s Bullies, there will always be another “devil dog” to takes its place. 
 

I wish the country clamped down on nonces the way we do with dangerous dogs.

Yup throw in Alsatians/German Shepherds and Akitas as well. The problem with large breeds is that they are no more likely to bite than any other type of dog but when they do it's a bad do.

My parents had a Springer that went mental and attacked my dad and made a right mess of his arm, he had to be put down (the dog not my dad) when I was a kid a girl in my school was attacked by a jack russel she ended up with scarring all over her face.

Dogs like any animal can attack, training both of the dog and any kids likely to be involved in the dog's life can lower the risk anything nasty happening. But dogs are stupid so the humans involved are always the most important .

I think there’s a ban on nonces being announced from next week. Not sure there if there will be a cull, but all new nonces will be banned. 
 

It the legislation goes well it might be enough to get you back in the voting booth.

The statement explained that experts will be brought in to create a definition of the breed. It's the first step to using the dangerous dogs act to ban them.

That then gives the authorities the powers to seize an animal, and if necessary, fight any court action.

It is a means of allowing and improving any pre-emptive efforts to stop attacks from happening.

Love dogs, but I’m with you on this rant. 
 

The little yappy shits get away with it all the time. Often go for my ankles when I’m out on a run and the owners are useless.

True, though the authorities would have the power of removal. A lot of cash down the drain if seized.

They'd probably just keep it in the house or let it out in the garden 

Get their mates round and boast how they have a banned dog

I get round that by not going for a run

Had to go to A & E once because a massive dog jumped up and bit me on a run - it was on a lead but way too strong for the owner.

There should only be border collies anyway

All other dogs are pointless

Theyre the Land Rover 

They really are proper characters. I have had 2 , completely different make up. The first a proper gentleman and without doubt the best dog I will ever own . He saved me from myself when I was a younger man ,

The 2nd one fuck me he has been a challenge.i was gonna re-home him at  18 months as he was fucking crazy but got a trainer involved and worked with her for a while classes etc and it was worth it he is 12 now and starting to slow a little but he is by far the cleverest animal I have ever known . Food is his nemesis though he wood kill you for a crumb. .

All dogs need work .The dickheads that want to own an XL have no intention of putting any effort in and the consequences are brutal .A badly behaved dachshund or shitzu is unlikely to kill anyone.

The dog breeding trade needs governing and I think to an extent so does ownership.

Totally agree.

I know a few dog breeders and they’re mainly brilliant, but there are one or two absolutely ruining their animals in pursuit of making money out of them.

If the market for dangerous dogs is there, folk will continue breeding them. So it definitely needs stricter rules.

Good to hear about your dogs, I’ve started walking my cousins border collies whenever I can. She’s got 2 and they’re fckin ace.

[Traf]

Our litter or 8 week old cocker spaniels all went to their new homes today.

Tough/Sad times here, I've lost my football wingman and the pups inside three days.

[glennboltw]

I can't walk my Rottweiler down the street without getting any dirty looks or people crossing the road, she is always on a lead and has never shown any aggression to anyone. We have also had two border collies and they were fantastic dogs but a rottie is a complete dog in my opinion.

[Zico]

It's the yappy little things you have to watch out for like Jack Russells and Daschunds 

Dalmatians can be cunts too

Many years ago my Mum used to take our two dogs to doggie obedience classes in Westhoughton.  One of the leaders of it had two Rottweilers.  You'll never see a more responsible owner or two better behaved, soft, obedient dogs than those two.

A couple of years later at Westhoughton carnival a little girl had her face taken off by a Rottweiler after bending down to stroke it on a hot day.  The dog that did it was one of the two mentioned above.

Any dog can be the cutest, softest, most obedient dog in the world ... but every dog, just like any human, when pissed off for whatever reason, can snap.  The trouble with powerful dogs is the amount of damage they can inflict when they do snap.

Not a wise move taking a dog to a carnival on a hot day.

Loads of people increasing the stress on it in addition to the heat.

That dog had most likely never even growled at someone up to that point though and I'm sure its owner trusted its temperament 100%.

I'm sure the owner has never forgiven himself either. He certainly never went back to teach those classes.

Unlikely to kill, yes. But it's not about killing is it. I wouldn't trust any dog. I've been bit by a handful of dogs during my time. None that you would categorise as dangerous. 

Have a dog as a pet but I see no reason why all dogs shouldn't have a mussel on when outside, and inside when someone calls round who they are unfamiliar with. How hard is that?

[gonzo]

It would help if folk knew how to behave round dogs and respect them for what they are.

Dont bend over the dog and instantly waft your hand its face. Nobody would like that done to them.

Dont approach any dog without asking the owner first either. Get on their level and let them sniff the palm of your hand. 

They soon figure you're not a threat and you soon find out if the dogs is sound or not.

See so many people fanny about dogs. 

They sense nob heads.

Had a jack Russell and she never bit out at anyone 

If we were in a public place she'd be on a lead, but would still approach people giving the eyes for attention 

That's all she wanted,you'd have to do a lot to provoke her 

Only time she got violent was with the whippet we also had. Overall they had two fights and it was probably a score draw

You’re obvs correct but 99% of people go to pat/stroke the dog on its head.

Yep.

Too often folk tend to apply human traits to them. They're dogs!

Got an individual near us who's animal is rigidly attached to them at all times. They always put the fear of God into the thing and never socialised it.

Result; they seem to think they've got a darling of an animal and everyone else is a pillock. 

In reality it's shit scared, largely due to the panic-stations attitude of the owner.

When you get owners who are mutually relaxed, it makes the dog less concerned. 

They do have individual characteristics too, beyond breed traits, so again, know your own animal.
