Some rescues have been abused. Youâre bringing in an animal with issues. Your a responsible owner who can manage it and knows your dogâs limitations. If only more were like you.

My poor auld Jack Russell that was killed was very bad with strange men. I was very worried Iâd have to get rid of her when the children arrived, but she was unreal with them. Really gentle and careful with them. I couldnât get over it.

Heâs a dog-lover and has owned many different breeds down the years, including German Shepherds. He was always keen on the staffies and pitbulls.
Another pal bred Akitas and Rottweilers. He was, without question, the best dog handler Iâve ever seen.
He was a pup from a litter where the mother, a Jack Russell, got a lot of (dogs) abuse.

My fella doesnât like strange men either, or electric scooters, or the postman, not mad about adults on bikes, hates the lawnmower,
But sheâs a beaut, we have two dogs and when the girls bring friends home theyâd often ask to play with the dogs, for me itâd be awful if I didnât feel I could completely trust them around kids, though weâd be watchful

itâs the kids I wouldnât trust. Some kids donât know how to behave around dogs. Fast movement and pulling and tearing etc. hands and face near the mouth. Better off just leaving the dog outside. I love the dog and if he bit heâd be gone. remove the risk

Weâd love to get a dog but we live in a built up area and have a very small garden. I donât think itâs fair to confine the dog like that unless you can provide the exercise requirements that they need. Given our family circumstances and the associated workload I donât think we could offer that.
Any dog we had when we were growing up lived outside and would be let inside on the rare occasion. My auld fella wouldnât generally tolerate it. I used to think that he was harsh but know now that the dog needed to know his place in the pack. Most of them were impeccably behaved and brilliant with kids apart from a Cocker Spaniel who was a lot less patient with the kids.

Iâd love to get a Malinois but Iâm going to wait until Iâm retired so I can put the time in with it

Donât wait until youâre too old lad. They are a handful. Bursting with energy, huge drive and willing to learn. They bore easily and itâs a recipe for disaster.
I hope to be retired plenty soon enough

fair play if thatâs the case. They are a fab dog. Def a one man dog.
Hopefully the fucker does time, but Guards should have done something about the initial incident.
Hopefully he does do time but has anyone ever done time for something like this in Ireland? Is muzzling these fucking dogs and keeping them on a leash not just one of those âlawsâ in Ireland that everyone just ignores so heâll just walk?
Dangerous dogs donât exist without dickhead owners.
End of. Dogs are not born dangerous regardless of the breed once theyâre properly trained.

Iâm sure Art could speculate a bit better but Iâd say theyâd be looking more at trying to get him for non-fatal offences than dog laws. To recklessly cause serious harm Iâd suggest, carries a sentence of up to life imprisonment.
So you are saying they are born dangerous

Same as humans, id say.
Theyâre not born dangerous at all.
Hopefully youâre right, a precedent should be set with this cunt.
