I don't ask owners not to exercise their animals, what I do ask is that they behave responsibly and spare a thought for others who may not be as confident about their pet's behaviour as they are. |
Re: Pit bulls and Rottweilers
The people who own pit-bulls, rottweiler’s and other dangerous dogs are at the best irresponsible but more likely they're chavy scum lacking self-esteem and are just basically horrible aggressive and nasty people. They should ban all these viscous breeds and euthanize the ones that are left. It’s like owning a firearm, there's absolutely no reason for it in civil society. If you want to have a dog, get a cocker spaniel or if you want larger dog, get a golden retriever. Stop trying to justify these horrible breeds. ffs.

Re: Pit bulls and Rottweilers
So Stinks and I were out for a toddle in the Provincial Park next door. There was a young woman with what looked like a young pit bull- rightly it was leashed (as was Stinky as per regs;)) and I took him off the path so she could get by. She warned me that the dog "wasn't good with other dogs" as it snarled and barked at his nibs who was sat quietly in the shade having just had a roll in the dirt.
She was struggling to pull it back and keep control despite the leash. It was only a puppy, probably Staffie sized. It does always puzzle me why people buy this breed- the owner looked pleasant enough, she wasn't a rough-arse. She didn't look as if she was having any fun on her walk, I saw her back by the cars later, struggling. When it becomes adult, she will not be able to control it. She couldn't take it to our local pet beach to cool off as it would go psycho. Why buy a pit bull? They are frequently aggressive even in seemingly good hands.:unsure: |

Re: Pit bulls and Rottweilers
Research suggests Labs bit the most people but GSDs bit the most Posties. Eliminate the dogs legislated under the Dangerous Dogs act and you will be left with the commonest breed causing the most bites, perhaps not surprising. GSDs have a tendency to "nip, grab and drag"as demonstrated in Siouxie's article posted , hence they are great for police work- and a Postie must be very tempting for the poor pups.. Not that I'm advocating canine violence and general naughtiness :unsure:

Well, yes, but there are many more of them so that's not a helpful statistic.

On the one hand there were likely fewer of them, making it even more remarkable but on the other hand, if that's what the owners want,then it may be...er policy?.....:( |

I can't recall which article I saw but the dogs in question were responsible for a phenomenally high figure of attacks compared to others.

I think Golden retrievers were 11 attacks and 3 deaths. Either way, as I initially suggested and dbd reitterated, there are a hell of a lot more Labs than say Malamutes and therefore a lot more bites but half the number of deaths.. |
Re: Pit bulls and Rottweilers
Dog training classes should be compulsary, unless you can show that you have good control over the animal.
Don't any of these people even bother to read up on this stuff? Most aggressively acting dogs behavior is caused by nervous owners with too tight leashes and a dog that thinks it's the boss or that it has to protect them. Sigh. The dog that thinks I am her owner won't even walk through a door before me, let alone in front on me on leash! |

Here it is....the slideshow from that article....just to illustrate the huge differences.
