Re: Staffordshire Bull Terriers in Australia
So true. Also many claim to be owners of "Staffs" even though they have no kennel cliub registration to prove it, pedigree paper means nothing. Dog in the subway attacking that poor lab is not a staff either, ears too big and wrong shape tail,not to mention its height

And the stupid bastard gave away the dog so it wouldnt be destroyed. That attack was unprovoked, that poor woman and her dog. Now that dog is able to do that to someone elses pet.

Also the fact remains that there are plenty of awesome staffies, pitbulls etc out there and they are great dogs but if you put a pitbull and a golden retriever in exactly the same environment their entire life the pitbull would still be more likely to attack due to it's genetic makeup and years of breeding than the GR and no one can argue with that. On top of this fact, the potential damage factor is much larger with the pitbull.

Re: Staffordshire Bull Terriers in Australia
If you want to remove a dog from yours simply grab both of it's front legs and rip them apart, this will force the rib cage through the chest cavity, it will most likely kill the dog but that is fair play when it is attacking yours. This can be difficult with breeds such as the pitbull due to the muscles in the chest but still possible.

Even with knowledge of a workable technique, ie covering the nose, not the above, it's very possible that the dog will turn it's attention on you and if your hands/face are in range, you could find yourself in a lot of trouble.

Anybody who thinks that removing a large attacking dog (of any breed) from their own dog without the risk of serious injury to themselves, has not been in that position very often IMO.

Granted though for most people it would be better letting the dogs owner do it.

Re: Staffordshire Bull Terriers in Australia
I agree with what you say in principle, but it would very much depend on the size of the dog and your own relevant strength, I certainly wouldn't advise anyone taking hold of a vicious 50kg Rottie that was in full flow, as unless your very experienced and strong, your likely to lose big time.

yep, I fully understand and would probably do likewise, I would just hate to think that some people might think it's as easy as knowing where and when to take hold of the attacking dog.

....and if anybody doubts that, I can post the Youtube vid of where one does exactly that, to its owner.

It's actually not that difficult but does require a certain amount of strength depending on the dog.

Re: Staffordshire Bull Terriers in Australia
If anybody actually tries to do this can I recommend that you only try it with the hand you can best do without. A Pitbull will probably take your arm off.
