Anybody touches either of our dogs in any manor, other than to stroke or make a fuss of them, lets put it this way, I am prepared and will do time for the concequences.

Even as far as killing a larger, uncontrolled, dog which was attacking yours?

around we go again ...

Well, you've certainly won that argument with your well thought out and considered response.

[highflyer]

Karona I would go for the person in charge of the dangerous dog, as they are responsible, I would never harm any animal, if my dog was being attacked by another dog I would attempt to seperate them, probably get bitten or attacked in the process but would expect it, I know my dogs and it would never be them to start anything.

[highflyer]

Sorry Isaac Hunt but I don't agree with you because a German Sheppard, Rotti or whatever, muzzled would not be able to defend itself against a snappy aggresive Jack Russell, as I said its all to do with the owner and knowing your dog,

Story in the Torygraph today with both (alleged) sides of the story.

Not quite what the original article said. Man steps out of his house with his dog and "Tyson the docile doggy" attacks his dog, clamps onto it and wont let it go, owner nowhere to be seen, kicking it makes not difference so he went back inside to get a knife and stabbed the dog. He also says that the dog in question is the subject of a number of complaints.

Pretty much what I thought.

Mmm, Huge fk off dog, massive studded collar, called Tyson, ran about terrorising Estate, and now owner has set up a shrine to it.

Kind of getting the canine equivalent of 'Promising Footballer' with this story......

From the details in that story, I'd have done the same

Nobody should have dogs like these. They are extremely dangerous and should not be pets and most definately should not be bred.
The man did the only thing he could do and I really dont think he has anything to answer for.
Just imagine if that horrible dog had attacked a child.

Why? It didn't.

Just imagine if it had been captaining the Hindenburg, oh, the humanity!

Am I the only one thinking I wouldn't want to take on an American Bulldog armed only with a kitchen knife.

I would if it was attacking someone or my dog but not afterwards.

I was once walking on my friends land and came across a woman walking a Springer which kept jumping up me trying to bite my hands that were firmly at my side.

She was maybe 25m away and did nothing.

I shouted at her to control her dog because if it did bite me I'd kill it.

I have no doubt she went home telling her family she met a thug (whilst she was trespassing)

There are always 2 sides...

I did hear somewhere that the tried and (allegedly) tested method to persuade an attacking dog to release it's grip is to insert a finger/suitable object up it's butt. I imagine there is a hint of truth to that?!

After you Digger.

Good luck

I didn't know that either, I imagine it'd have to be a two "pronged" attack, as in my experience, one doesn't lay down quietly whilst the other attacks it.

Thanks, unfortunately the moody critters of my aquaintance generally have less than four legs.

Would someone sticking their finger up your arse calm you down if you were getting agitated?

When I was in the army I was told the method to stop an attack dog was to pull its front legs outward - ie in a V from it's chest.

Quite how fast you'd have to move to achieve this...

Still I'd try that advice over yours.

I never mentioned calming. A surprise move like that would certainly divert my attention though!

Might have to agree with you there, but guess it depends if the attacking dog is still on its feet, which more than likely it is.
