Was it a bully, I assumed by the media reports yesterday   

Is this the lad where 15 dogs have been removed from two properties, she's on bale aged 22 and suspected of money laundering.  Yet we can't get money unless we jump through hoops and prove that we are actually having a new drive or similar 

[jaypo]

Yes clkd,it was a bully,the man just became a dad for the 2nd time just a week or so ago and also has a two year old daughter,he was dog sitting for it,the man next door,son,witnessed the whole thing and is so traumatised ,he tried throwing stones at it to stop the attack,it's just too awful even imagine 

[CLKD]

One after the other with these large breeds.  Which are never seen by the LA ........... with which 1 has to register if 1 has more than two breeding bitches.  A Law that is impossible to implement.  Dog Licensing won't make any difference either.  What's with these large breeds .......... I saw a Pit-bull recently  . 

I haven't seen the bullyXXX in our village since the 1st time a few weeks ago, no doubt he has doubled in size.  I see that the cropped eared dog show went ahead at a different venue .........  .  Do these bull breeds, other than staffies, English mastiffs and Gt Danes appear at Crufts ?

Too many dogs coming into the UK via crated containers apparently which don't come under Border Control.

I've just read an eye-witness Report about this incidence: apparently the 'dog sitter' went to collect the dog from the garden, then began play fighting with it.  As U would

I found it distressing enough witnessing one of my cats being mauled by a run away Staffie who got into our garden. The noise of the dog barking and snarling and the cries from my cat were dreadful to witness. Luckily the guy from next door heard me shouting and climbed the fence to help pull the dog off. The cat survived but had two broken teeth from being hurled into the garden wall plus many puncture wounds to his body and face.

I cannot imagine how helpless you would feel being faced with a person being attacked. We are very wary of the American XL Bully who lives next to us.

[CLKD]

Oh Taz  .  Something that probably jolts you as you drop off to sleep?

No Law in the UK will stop these backstreet breeders: until a Law comes in that dogs cannot be advertised in pets at home-type stores, FB doesn't allow it but some do slip through ..... e-bay etc..

[jaypo]

Oh Taz,that is truly awful, I know what you went through,when that dog attacked my tiny poodle chihuahua mix,it was the worst thing I've seen, I think if I'd had a gun I would've shot it,that vision of her being mauled is still in my head and makes my blood run cold if I think about it.
Glad your puss was ok Taz,poor little thing 

[jaypo]

Did anyone see the footage of the bully XL going on a rampage in the midlands (I think) it was horrifying footage 

[CLKD]

Yep.  Why does anyone want a Bully XL {extra large}.

Another dog bite today ...... another dog off a lead, went for a man walking.

Time that more By-Laws were posted and dog wardens employed.  That however won't stop the backstreet breeders, how many of these bull breeds have their ears docked illegally 

All dogs will chase, it's the prey instinct.  The young girl attacked in Birmingham ran away triggering an off-lead dog into chase mode.  And if the dog haven't been socialised and how can these large breeds be, in all honesty?  8st of muscle on the charge  .  If my cocker decided to go off at a tangent she often pulled me over  and these larger breeds will then turn.  Also people scream which is another trigger, hence babies that have been killed have probably made a noise unfamiliar to the dog. 

It makes me angry.  This can't be all blamed on Covid off the cuff puppy buys 

[jaypo]

No,definitely nothing to do with covid,these bully dogs are a phase,like pit bulls were until banned,the bully's have killed 9 people since 2018,blimey,is one person not enough?? Not to mention all the little dogs they've attacked and or killed 

[Katherine]

I can’t believe these massive muscly fighting dogs are legal and I find it absurd when owners say theirs is friendly and will just lick you and are soft etc. the point is what they are bred for, what they are capable of and how they can turn on people. I think they will be banned but how many people will have died before the govt get round to sorting it out. Why else would anyone choose to own one of these dogs if not for their intimidating appearance?

[jaypo]

Men with small a small you know what Katherine, I mean who looks at a dog like that and says.......oh,it's so pretty,I'll have one,they are the most terrifying looking dogs. I've had dogs my entire life and have never been bothered about walking my own down the street but now? Especially as my own tiny dog was attacked by an off lead dog,who the owners said.......it's never done that before 😳😳😳😳😳

[Katherine]

Jaypo I’m so sorry to hear your dog got attacked, I can’t imagine how horrible that must be. I darent let my cat out of our yard in case this happens to her or she gets hurt some other way. There seems to be an epidemic of people not being able to or not wanting to control their dogs. I think I’m going to carry a walking pole or umbrella when I go for walks as I’m so sick of dogs jumping up at me with their muddy paws. It doesn’t surprise me the owners said that. I think there needs to be a change in the law to protect animals from dog attacks too.

You can get this thing called pet corrector spray thar is used for training and emits a really loud hiss which dogs hate. We have been using it as part of a training plan to stop our pup barking at everything and it is incredibly effective. It's a very small canister about the size of a roll on deodorant. I wonder if it would we worth having one of those to hand to scare off any aggressive dogs?

I'm so sorry to hear your dog got attacked. I'm terrified about that happening to my pup, as some of these dogs are so strong and can do so much damage so quickly. I don't even take her to the closest park for that reason, too many status dogs. See the message I sent to Katherine below, the pet corrector spray might be a good back up plan to have in your pocket.
