Government to ban XL Bully dogs... Good imo. Don't care what anyone else thinks. Generally owned by morons who want weapon dogs to intimidate and make a statement. Ban the lot of them. Plenty of nice sweet breeds to chose from. German Sheppards and Rottweilers are fine. Blatant weapon dogs can foxtrot oscar.

As can those who come out with the old ‘it’s not the breed, it’s the owner’ line.

Yep, buy a spaniel, don’t be surprised if it jumps in the water, get a terrier, it’ll disappear down a hole, a collie will herd chicks.

Get a dog like a those bull mastiff things there’s a chance it’ll do what it’s bred for.

I remember the “Devil dog”

front page from many years ago regarding Rottweilers, we had a Rottweiler bitch at the time, the most intelligent, kind and protective to my kids dog I’ve ever owned, my mother over the years has had a series of Jack Russels which have been nippy aggressive little shits without exception. I think correct enforcement of current legislation and dog licenses would go a long way to improving things.

Whatever term you used, however vague or euphemistic, I just think it's kinda weird that you felt the need to announce it at all, and in the Making the news today thread of all places. Like it's such a momentous occasion that you decided to share it with the rest of the class.

 

"Attention, one and all! Today, being my birthday, my darling dearest granted me one of our biannual occasions of nuptial relations!"

 

Like, I'm happy for you though, dude. 

 

Edit

Ahh sorry, I hadn't refreshed the browser for a while, didn't mean to derail the thread. 

My opinion?

Don't ban some dogs, ban some people from owning dogs.

Bang on. Having a JR with an attitude is one thing. Having a 9 stone beast with an obvious malevolent side can't be justified.

True in some respects but any of the large dogs, German shepherds, Doberman, Rottweiler and many others can cause serious damage too. I’ve no time for the characters you see drawn to dogs for any of the wrong reasons and legislative powers already in place should also focus on these individuals. As it stands I think the whole XL bully breed concept is just wrong in every conceivable way. Those breeding them as I said should also be in the spotlight. A valid point/question was made on the radio today regarding  what combination of breeds they would move onto or combine if the XL are banned.

Stop the type of person who wants a dog as a weapon from having any kind of dog, don't just say they can't have a certain kind of dog. Otherwise you'll just get a weaponised spaniel, or a terrier, or a collie.

Remove such bellends from the equation and the market for that kind of dog goes down anyway.

Some Rottweilers can be proper bastards though. A long time ago before i got into tree surgery I worked for a fruit and veg wholesaler. One of the farms I used to stop at once a week had 2 rotties. 1 was on a very long piece of rope but more or less free roaming. The other was kept around the corner..I never did get to see that one. 

 

I was made to stay in the van when i first went there, probably for the first 5 or 6 visits, till I was slowly introduced to the dog. Fritz was his name, and eventually he became quite excited to see me.

 

However I was told in no uncertain terms to 'never go round there' where the other dog lived.
