Enough.


If dogs are so big and strong that they cannot reasonably be fought off by an adult, they have no place in this country, in my honest opinion.


I couldn't care less about the "my dog wouldn't hurt a fly / is soft as a brush" brigade.
 
My wife has just told me about someone else who's been killed by another dog(s). She also told me about a 10 year old boy who was attacked but people managed to intervene. The trouble is,  any dog can turn. I go into people's houses on a daily basis and I'm more wary now than I used to be, had a couple of near misses. One particular flat the dog went for me customer was distraught as she said it's never happened before with others wearing hi-vis tops.

It's in part the breed of dog, and how it has been raised. However, dogs can lose it, and go on the rampage, just as people can - nothing much can be done about that, without banning all dogs and all people.

My own BC, really wouldn't hurt a fly. Act strange or timid around her, and she will bark and back away.
 
I've never liked anyone who doesn't like dogs.

There is a big difference in the people who like dogs & the people who just like owning dogs. I don't know many people who don't own at least 1 dog, sometimes working dogs, but mostly as a pet for companionship. I've always said that everyone needs at least 1 member of their household who is always happy to see them when they come home !

Back in t'village Collie's are very popular on t'farms even tho' it isn't a sheep area, Lurchers, Spaniels, Retrievers etc often define a mans particular hobby, but most dogs that can be found either out on the walks or in t'pub garden on a sunny evening are the great mix of breeds that make good house dogs with good temperaments.

I don't know anyone who owns an XL Bully, I cannot think of any particular work they are suited to & I understand that they don't make good house dogs. So I guess the majority of their owners just like owning dogs to reflect or extend their personalities.

I know three! The son of an MOT station owner that I know (they keep it in a large cage on-site at the mot station), the daughter and her boyfriend of a bloke I know and one of the students that attends my training centre - he got it from his step-dad as a 15th birthday present! All the same type of person unfortunately….
 
We work on an estate we’re a couple of the blokes there have dogs that are caged for most of the day ( gun dogs ?? ) pacing up
And down there cages
Constantly barking

I don’t like it and I think it is cruel tbh

My neighbours have an Irish wolf hound massive dog but it’s as daft as a brush he has two daughters the dog is bigger ( taller ) than them

They do seem to be very responsible owners ?? And I don’t think that breed of dog is of the aggressive type ?

I like dogs but never had one
More of a cat person

Trakky bottom wearing, knuckle dragging mouth breathers. Burdens on the welfare state who become bitter & twisted 'cos they just cannot fathom why everyone else looks down on 'em.

You know three of 'em you say? I don't know any.
