11 children injured in Blyth park dog attack

[Bluesince1979]

I stand corrected.. I mean in the sense that any breed can be abused enough to turn it into being fearful which results in it being aggressive.
They are natural emotions in all animals.

I'd love to have a Yorkie or any other smaller breed but Staffies have long served me and have never caused any problems.
Why should we good dog ownersnbe punished because of the imbeciles who choose these dogs?

Why should good dog owners be punished? For the same reason we have strict gun laws I guess. You can have 99.9% of gun owners who enjoy nothimg more than to legally hunt or go clay pigeon shooting but you only need one Michael Ryan to ruin it for the rest.

Where as I completely agree that it's generally the owners fault I support the idea that dogs such as staffs have the capacity to cause awful damage where as a Yorkshire terrier on the rampage would get laughed at!
I go in houses for work daily. I've seen staffs rolling on there belly for a tickle and I've also asked customers to lock the dog in the garden as it was a bit edgy. Unfortunately, I can gerealise about what sort of person has the nasty staffy and vise versa.

It's high time any dog breed with a propensity for doing harm should be much much closely controlled than a breed that isn't. Sad fact of life I'm afraid.

Ps I've had dogs all my life, currently a springer spaniel and a jackapoo, chose specifically for there gentle nature rather than something that makes me look 'ard!

Good chance it's got a bastard for an owner though

So why do we hear on a regular basis in the news that these dogs are so violent.The facts are that 11 children have been bitten/savaged.I would fucking ban these dogs from these isles if I had my way.

I'd ban children personally. So many of them grow into fucking chavs and criminals and killers.

I`ve also heard of vicious dogs.We have a Larso Apso and for us personally we have always had smaller dogs.

Anything smaller than a lab isn't a dog.

Labs are hardly the best representation of a dog nowadays....and the german shepherd that was the best of breed at crufts wanted putting down...or at least anyone willing to breed from it for $'s wanted putting down

I give me little dog a toe-poke with me rubber trainers recently, whilst on the blower, to stop it eating something very unhealthy looking on the floor and immediately received a 'huy don't kick your dog', me dog seen me look to where the voice had come from and woosh it's got the rotting maggot infested grub off the floor...it got another toe poke and dropped it...i went to seek out the voice and found an herbert with a doberman that looked like a rottweiler on stilts..i asked him how old it was and he told me 6yrs....it could'nt walk 600 yards..i told him in no uncertain terms what a cruel **** he turned out to be...and there was him thinking it was me who was cruel.

I see.

I see.

Wish I did!

Wish I did!

You have to squint.

 

[Fat Chance]

I see.

I'm glad you can see...some folk can't see what's infront of their eyes...think they call it breed blindness, though undoubtedly there may be size blindness

more people get bitten by Labradors than any other breed, maybe just because there are more of them. I'd take a Staff over an Alsation any day for temperament but having said that I know some beautiful alsations. Cats rule anyways
