Re: Yet another dog kills a child...

PMSL at the yorki comment, hope no one ownes one.

But I really believe that education is the way forward, dogs can sence fear.

There used to be a stray dog (NONE BULL TERRIER) that wondered around my mums area, this dog was soft when I saw it because I was not scared it didnt usually look twice at me.

However one day coming home from work I saw the same dog barking at a middle aged woman, had her stuck in here tracks up against a wall, So being the hero(LOL) I had to intervient, all I did is should at the dog and off it went, the woman thanked me but then admited Im really scared of dogs.

Now this dog shouldnt of been on the street in the first place, but these things happen and FEAR is not the best way of coping with the situation.

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...

So are we going to ban all dogs? Even guide dogs? Where do you draw the line? IMO it isn't the dogs to blame it's the owners for not training their dogs.

My aunt had a very yappy snappy yorkie but it didn't dare misbehave when it was staying with us because we taught it early on that it wasn't the boss.

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...

If what was on the news is correct then it is a banned dog and as such the owner could face charges.

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...

I think there are many answers to the question about what to do with dogs in public places and dogs with children etc.. As far as I see it being the owner of a large dog myself, I would say that my dog is 99.9% safe with children but I would not take any chances, if any children ask me if they can stroke him I always say that he may bite, and if they ask me if he bites I always say yes he might do, that way there is no confusion as to whether they are safe to pull him about which I am sure that is the way the dogs see it and it is in response to this that the kids get bitten.

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...

A friend of mine had one of these dogs and it went through professional training, it was taught who was the master and never went out without a muzzle or not on a lead, he called it his gentle giant (it was HUGE).

But although it went through all this it still turned round and bit him on his hand down to the bone, he then sent it away to a trainer down south who specialised in the breed.

Unfortunately despite all this he eventually made the decision to have the dog put down as it was starting to show aggression.

So tell me that this was due to his upbringing???

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...

I knew of someone who had one of these types of pitbull dogs and i was absolutely horrified when i found out they,d got it ,purely on the basis ,
a...they had had one similar before and neither could be bothered to execise it so they got rid .
b... then came along a baby ..
c... then came along another pit bull type dog ..
these people couldnt be bothered to execise themselves or a child never mind a bloody dog of any description let alone one that is known to need exercising 3/4 times daily and then to have it around a toddler .

IMHO its just a matter of time and yes they have been reported

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...

That's part of my point about responsible ownership. A well-trained dog will behave well but a dog is a dog, not a human, and has canine instincts. No one with an ounce of sense leaves a small child alone with any dog.

In the case of pitbulls, these dogs are bred from fighting stock. They are, almost without exception, owned by morons who think it's cool to have a vicious dog at their command. The average bull-terrier is not particularly aggressive, if well trained, but the pitbull is rarely trained to do anything but show aggression.

Years ago it was the Alsation that had the bad reputation. People saw it as a villain. Then it was renamed as the German Shepherd (its old, pre-WW1 name) and it was recognised as an intelligent breed as well as a useful guard dog. You still hear of "rogues" but they are, like the pitbull, generally owned by idiots for "macho" value. Any dog can be a dangerous dog in the wrong hands.
