considering the first post here is about banning dangerous breeds of dogs, with rumours of labradors, huskys and Jack Russells being the mix of breed here, the issue of dangerous breeds of dogs is completely irrelevant to the discussion here. Unless we just ban dogs full stop.
Itās a horrible tragic accident. But ultimately it falls on the people who failed to control the dog, whether that be the family or the friends who own the dog or whoever was there. If it was a new dog to the set up, you dont just let him roam free. If it was already there, any warning signs at all need to be addressed. Its horribly tragic though.
Any breed of dog can be savage id a gorgeous seemingly easy going westie for 16 yrs plus and 99 pc of time a dote but he snapped at my then smallie through jealousy, can never be sure
Think I read before that labradors account for.more.recorded dog attacks than any other breed.
That could be entirely fiction but vaguely recall being surprised hearing it as, what with guide dogs and face to soft bog roll, theyāre not really viewed that way.
I flaked him with a newspaper on the nose, put food down and trained him to not do it again through perseverance by putting my own and kiddies hand into to his bowl, took an age but got there, didnāt trust him completely until my kid got older and the westie understood that the smallie was his master also
Youāre right - Labs have more recorded bites causing injury - Iād say little cunt terriers bite more often but donāt get recorded. Little cunt terriers also attack other dogs way more often but itās just passed overā¦
crossing anything with a terrier is bad news
On the labs, yeah, that struck me as odd too as any lab iāve ever met has been very well behavedā¦ my only guess is people drop their guard and allow kids to pull and tear out of them continuously, until well, the dog uses the only arsenal it has.
No matter how good natured it is. Itās still a dog. Some people put human values on them. Itās ridiculous
Time does it Iām not great in the patience department at times but that dog became a very important part of my sons life later on when he needed it, dogs are vital and my own fault as I should have copped on that he was likely to snap some time
My guy regularly did between 7/12 miles daily, good going for a small dog ,bloody irks me when ppl donāt exercise their pets, Iāve 3 near dogs that Iāve never seen out on a lead
The father in law had a collie for years and he snapped at my young fella one day nearly cutting his face.We took him down the field and shot him.Thats how you handle dogs.They only need one chance and some kids life could be ruined.
