Re: shoot my dog?? surely not
aha at long last a man of my own heart. we live in the campo inland of alicante but its not without the usual crime ie burgleries etc
when i go out i have peace of mind knowing my dog is doing his job and protecting my property. apart from having dogs for companionship etc, they also serve a purpose in other fields.

Re: shoot my dog?? surely not
I love my dangerous dog to bits, he fell in the swimming pool the other day and we both nearly drowned. I’ve now got a line of rocks along the deep end so he doesn’t fall in.
When I take him out, he’s got a muzzle, and he’s insured up to the eyeballs, and he’s as gentle as a lamb, he loves kids and people in general, apart from burglars.

Re: shoot my dog?? surely not
i hand reared my "dangerous dog" from 2 days old, and hes just the same, adores kids, and visitors, but is very protective of me and the gate!
i muzzle mine too when i take him out. but i cant see the point in keeping him in an enclosed area so he cant do his job...if i did, i would be left wide open for thieves etc. if a stray hand is put in my gate be it to pet him or gain entry then hell slap it into them!

Re: shoot my dog?? surely not
There have been lots of stories of dangerous dogs being child friendly and loving them so much that they tried to eat them.
A dog is a dog and will never change, they are pack hunters and feeders and should never be trusted as part of the family.

Re: shoot my dog?? surely not
I’m trying to picture a rational scenario involving rescuing my wife or dog from a burning house, but I can’t.
