What about ned teenagers, shall we put them down since it's not their upbringing that is the issue.

What controlled dogs do you know have gone savage?

The dog that ripped my music teacher's arm to shreds a number of years ago. A great big bloody rotty. The thing had been well looked after, had never bitten enyone before and there was no reason to think that it would do any harm. Other than the fact that was a big dangerous animal which if it didn't exist, wouldn't be in a position to harm someone so terribly. FACT.

With respect to putting down ned teenagers...I think you're on to something there. No seriously, although they're a pain in the arse there are ways and means of punishing humans to make them realise the er of their ways. What punishment would you consider for a mutt considering there's no way you can communicate with it? Unless you're a dog whisperer or something.

I'd have them all put down. End of.

A little on the extreme side perhaps. What, poodles included? But I do think there's a case for saying that some dogs don't particularly lend themselves to co-existence with humans, other than as guard dogs. I'm thinking pit bulls, rottweilers, dobermans - the kind of dog you only have to look at to recognise a well-established genetic prediposition to violence. And I've no time for people insisting their rotty's 'a big soppy'. That's just a thin veneer of socialisation over 400 generations of savagery. Short answer? I wouldn't 'have them all put down', but I would extend the list of banned dogs, and enforce it.

All dogs are capable of causing injury, we have a Yorkie-Poo pup, he doesnt know he is the progeny of two of the poofiest breeds known to man, he looks like Gnasher from the Beano and will hang off a toy when you lift it like a Pitbull, he is quite bitey but getting better, however even when full grown he will be able to do know more than a nasty nip, I think there should be some kind of registration as well, different classifications based on size/breed and some training required to own the more **potentially** more dangerous or larger breeds.

And this Rottie attack just out the blue? for no reason what-so-ever? A horse is a large animal that is in a positon to harm someone, should they no exist?

Punishment for humnas doesn't work, the reoffend. Dogs on the other hand can be easly rehabilitated once taken away from the source of their issue (ie human). FYI I do dog psychology for a dog charity, so yes you can easly communicate with a dog.

Yes, you see the look on it's face... it fears nothing, and your ankles are history

J4CKO hot the nail on the head, they can all do it just some do it better, and the one that can do it better are normaly in the hands of people who will allow them to do it. Give a ned a lab and you will have a lab that is a killer.

I have to say I doubt it never gave a clue it was capable of this act, in fact I'd go on to say I'm certain of this. Maybe it's owners didn't pick up on it but that's a different matter.

Anyway, I've got some Sharks, Tigers and Elephants, to name just three which need a decision on them, can you let me know if we should eradicate them or not. An Ozzie mate is asking about spiders and snakes as well?

Yes the attack was out of the blue. He knew the owner and they were standing talking on the high street when it happened. The dog just went for him. Nedless to say the owner was very surprised that his pet puch would do such a terrible thing given that there was no indication in the past that it was capable of doing so.

On the subject of dog psychology, I know that it's possible to rehabillitate dogs etc but you can't sit down with a dog and explain to them that they shouldn't have bitten that kid a week ago.....can you?

Blimey. We've got a dog, two gerbils and a fish tank, and we thought we were going it a bit on the pets front.

The owner was put down? .

One lives in hope.

I don't buy it, the dog will have shown some behaviour like this in the past. Wither it's bark at the post man, growl at a stranger. They don't do it just out the blue. Why did the owner have a Rottie?

No, but you make sure it doesn't get to that stage. For them to have done this they have been allowed, or more so brought up to do it.

People never really admit to the wrongs their dog have done. When people bring dogs in to rehoming centres they never tell you why they no longer want the dog "we work long hours" "we are getting a divorce" "we can't afford it" all of it is bullshine. They have not taken controll of the dog so they can't cope. Thus leaving a dog that no one has a clue about it's history that needs a lot of time spent on it to asses what could be wrong, and a guess to why it's like that. If they only said in the first place it owuld make life a lot better, hence when someone says... oh my dog hasn't bitten or acted like that before... sure it's not, this is the first time your fook off rottie that you can't hold on to has tried to take someones arm off? And the reason you bought that dog in the first place was to heard cattle over the apls? or have a fook off dog that will kill someone to protect you?

I have the book (Richards Bicycle Book) out the library. Fairly sure it's NOT the first edition (it's 90s), but it does have the dog chapter.
