Same here getting_old.  2 is plenty I was pulled over by 1 though neither ran away, because they had been taught to 'sit' on command.  A sniff across my bows was all it took!

Today yet another example of ignorance,myself and daughter took our three a walk round our local Loch,it's stunning there,anyway met a man with a Boston terrier OFF LEAD,so I quickly picked my littlest one up,he went on to tell me HIS dog had been attacked by a pit bull like dog two weeks ago and is nervous,so why in gods name would you then let it trot off away in front of you without a lead?!? He also allowed it to put its muddy paws all over my jeans and jacket 

[CLKD]

It's excuses, excuses, excuses  .   Lack of consideration for others.  Boston terriers are quite rare so he should have been keeping his dog safe! 

[jaypo]

Totally agree,it actually had its nose up my chihuahuas nether regions and she went crazy at it eventually,not biting but just that crazy snarling thing they do to say.....that's enough but the guy didn't flinch🤷‍♀️

When my bitch went after dogs who sniffed under her tail I was always told "Don't worry it will do him good".  U can guess that my response was 'It would do him more good if he were cut'.   . She didn't take kindly to any1 under her tail and could 'read' an entire dog from half a mile away, she would hide behind me

I've got to the age when I thought that I had seen it all!  However:

- in Rugby this morning was a man who weighed in excess of 20st., doing up the buttons on his black soft short flies.  By his side was a pale pink/beige bully XL off a lead.  I Rest my Case

It's a new world out there nowadays clkd,I'm always getting shocked by things I see,especially behaviour. I watched a film the other night,made back in the 80s and people looked so much happier back then,not a mobile phone in sight and no devil dogs,it's sad isn't it?

[CLKD]

I don't watch horror films, Dr Who was as close as that got!  [and of course, a bit of a meander - it's on again due to there being a birthday, is it 60  ]

Another XL bully attack,this time in Derby,a poor little corgi,why are the morons (some) who own these dogs not able to control them? Apparently it didn't have a great collar and lead and got loose,close by was a school too 😡

[CLKD]

These dogs are rarely socialised and kept in conditions that the RSPCA wouldn't allow a rabbit to be homed in!

A child was attacked by a large mastiff-type dog yesterday in the home.   

[jaypo]

Apparently the good old Scottish government have yet again said black to the U.K. governments white,XL bullies not banned here and the kennels and rescue centres are being inundated with owners wanting to put their dogs up here.
Another attack on a French bulldog by an XL,the video was awful to watch,caught on a home security camera,the owner was very nonchalant and strolled over in her pjs but couldn't control it,I'm fuming now,these dogs should be GONE

We shouldn't tar all these large dogs with 1 brush.

The reason that they are being transferred to Scotland so that each can be evaluated on its merits by qualified Vets/dog handlers.  Most of the attacks are by dogs that haven't been socialised.  Those that owners don't think will be reactive.  As well as not being controllable. 

In the late 1980s it was Rotts and Doberman that were targeted, due to very similar situations.  Not as much press coverage then and a lot of it was incorrect.  That was when the Dangerous Dogs Act was badly worded but was passed ...........  it drove some 'breeders' underground.  Hence the types of dogs that are now causing huge problems.

A news article last night about XL Bullies showed a Staffie under control of a dog warden being taken in and out of a van, the press often drives these types of argument by using a dog which 'might be' similar.  In the 1990s I did a lot of work with our local warden - then it was whippets being dumped from the North of England in2 Oxfordshire having had their tattoos removed by snipping the ears!  So that they couldn't be traced 

Each dog should be judged on its merits.  I believe that we don't see enough of the knowledgeable owners, who are aware of the strength of their chosen breed.  Even my spaniel could pull me off my feet 

[jaypo]

No,I'm not suggesting they're all bad BUT why would you even want a dog like that? When dogs start killing dogs and humans it's time they were gone,one of my little dogs would never survive an attack from these monsters,a woman In Glasgow last week,was attacked by one and her little dog killed.
No these dogs are being dumped at local kennels up here,not to be assessed but because the owners don't want them and Scotland's law is different.....what a surprise 🙄

My neighbours one is getting used to his muzzle. His owners thought it better to get him gradually used to it before the rules come in. They are good and responsible owners.

I was wondering with all the recent reports how your neighbours are getting on.   The big problem is going to be finding enough Vets who can prepare a neutering plan.  We are short of Vets across the UK.

I'm sure that most dogs will become used to a proper muzzle.  It's those that can't afford the extra expense that need to be  honest and have discussions with their Vets..
