I understand people wanting a dog.
However those wanting an aggressive dog should accept if it causes harm they're responsible.
We have a neighbour that walks his 2 big dogs regularly past my house. I'm not sure the breed. However they go mental if they see any other dog. They've also got aggressive with people.
He's a big bloke but struggles to hold them on a leash.
I simply don't understand someone wanting to have that type of issue in their lives.
Absolutely baffles me as well. Don't understand it.However those wanting an aggressive dog should accept if it causes harm they're responsible.

People just making their own life harder for absolutely no reason. I know several people who have previously owned things like massive German Shepherds, or those Akita 'Japanese fighting dogs', Rottweilers and so on.
Every time someone came to their house, they would all have to go through this ridiculous performance of yelling through the front door to guests not to come in until they had locked the dog away. They would then spend the next few minutes wrestling a barking dog into a spare room, and then spending the rest of the evening worrying that a guest might open the wrong door and be savaged by their dog.
Walks were worry-filled affairs wrestling to control the dogs whilst they strained at the lead.
I know all dogs can bite or be bad tempered, but you would have to be an imbecile to not realise that many breeds are bred to be larger, more aggressive, and so on. Just get something else if you want a pet.
She walks it at 5 am so as not to encounter any other dogs as it goes bats
t mental, their son won't go round with the grandchild if the dog isn't shut away, we went round for dinner once, we were told to not approach or acknowledge it, only acknowledge it when it acknowledges us first, another friend of ours refuses to go round. It has seen a dog behaviourist, he was scared of it, didn't trust it at all.
I'm a dog lover myself, I've 3 dogs, I just don't see the attraction of owning a dog like that.

Everyone should just get Great Danes. I have two with a combined weight of 23 stone and they're no problem to take out by myself....

Collies are very hit and miss. I've never come across a bad one, they've all been lovely but have heard the odd issue now and then with bad behaviour. They're a very hard working and driven breed and you need to exercise the hell out of them to keep them on the straight and narrow.

And there's the problem with collies. Too many in modern households with owners at work during the day and the dog will get his one hour of 'exercise' consisting of a stroll around the area on a lead. The dog is bored stupid with masses of pent up energy. Everyone should just get Great Danes. I have two with a combined weight of 23 stone and they're no problem to take out by myself....

Absolute liability it sounds like.
There could be a child hanging off each ear and the tail of my dog and he wouldn't react aggressively.
He wouldn't be in the family if he did.
Pretty sure that's what the family of that young girl thought until the day she tried to sit on the xl and it didn't want her too. RIP.There could be a child hanging off each ear and the tail of my dog and he wouldn't react aggressively.

An old contact of mine was badly savaged by a great dane back in the early 90s, much worse than a collie, of which I have met some nasty ones, especially from a particular family/line chosen for their defensive nature and ability to deter unwanted visitors.So, any breed can be grumpy, it's just worse when they are bigger than most of the population.
Had to deal with a cane corso for the police this week......what a terrifying hound that was

The video in the link is not pleasant. It shows 2 Staffies attacking a Great Dane that was wearing a muzzle.

I think also properties nowadays are a lot smaller which helps contribute to the decline of the GD.
Sticking my neck out, the US are a bit clueless with the ear cropping and use of spiked collars. I'd be quite angry as well!
Anyway, going OT here so back to the XL bully thread.

Ahh, a bully type dog. I guess that's one with four legs and a tail.

I managed to chop the top off my little finger 10 days ago, I had to go back to the amazing hand hospital in East Grinstead today, I met a chap who had both hands in plaster, as did his wife and 1 police officer…his Bully attacked his wife and he tried to fend it off, it looks like one of his hands may not be saved, the other was covered in puncture wounds, his wife was not as bad but pretty damaged…he had it 6 years from a pup with no problems at all. The police destroyed it after it attacked one of them.

Woman in her 50s killed in Romford by a lovely family pet… registered apparently, oddly that doesn’t seem to have changed the nature of the animal.
It's Incredible that people are still fighting to have the very tame ban, which is really just a registration scheme that goes nowhere near far enough, overturned. As terrible as yet another death is, at least it's the owner and not an innocent member of the public or another kid.
These things should be culled.

Yep, small mercy. They need to start cranking up the sentences for owning these things when they go mauly. And cull em, agreed.As terrible as yet another death is, at least it's the owner and not an innocent member of the public or another kid.
