Did you really mean Borzoi?
I wrote Bully's - meaning the various breeds of Bulldog that all have the natural instinct to lock jaws. This includes Staffies, American Pitbulls and suck like (even the typical British Bulldog) has this bite. I.E. its not a bite and release, they bite and hold. I don't believe Borzoi do this.
I am not suggesting this makes a dog more or less likely to bite, but it should be obvious that if a Jack Russell doesn't want to let go, that's quite different to if a Cane Corso/Rottweiler/Bully XL doesn't want to.

Parents in court and the mother pleaded guilty, the father not guilty. Sounds like a ploy for mother to take the rap and stay out of clink by pleading guilty to me. 
Interesting, some of us thought it weird that the incident happened at 11pm, the article today says that they were walking 19 dogs at the same time…..19, at 11pm.
Sounds odd, maybe they were training sled dogs or something being huskies, and out at night to avoid complaints from people who think doing such a thing is f
kin insane! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire...

No one can walk 19 dogs at once and be in control
I worked with a woman who raced huskys. She kept 7 or 8 In her garden. Needed 9 foot fences. I went to a race meet once. When they are racing the dogs are hyper. Pack mentality.She did not have any kids. She said huskys were not suitable as pets. Need loads of exercise. Escapers.
Her dogs were always exercised on harness. She lived in a rural area with plenty space.
Huskys are generally fine with people, pretty docile. Been in the dog sport world for over a decade and know lots of people with them, I’ve run with plenty.
They are usually great / not fussed with people, they are not a guarding breed so usually welcome strangers large or small. They have a high prey drive so can be a nightmare for chasing small animals (possibly confusing a baby I guess) which is why they are advised to be on a lead as once they are interested in something they don’t like to listen to the owner either.
They do need the exercise but are generally fine around the house otherwise, plenty of friends with them and kids. Can be a bit noisy
A lot of breeds can be a bit snappy when in work mode though.

Most dogs are usually cuddly sloppy furbabies...what owners need to try and understand, is that if their Dog does a factory reset back to bios default it'll quite possibly not end well, especially if the Dog breed in question has a known operating system stability issue.
If you don't understand the above, then with respect, you probably shouldn't own a Dog!

I was wondering there would be a husky incident - large-ish dog with high prey drive requiring proper exercise, care, and socialisation, becoming popular with the usual suspects. GP friend of mine has had them for decades, soppy house dogs because they’re properly raised and cared for.

Lots of Councillistas with their XL Bully status dog do not realise the firmware has been messed around with (blue eyes to look cute etc) and assume that playful puppy will never attack baby Tyler whilst they pop out on the E Scooter to sign on... illegal breeders don't care for BIOS revisions as long as it results in a sale (no warranty)...If you don't understand the above, then with respect, you probably shouldn't own a Dog!

Did you see the Gordon Buchanan TV programme the other day about working with them?

Showed the ones he dealt with to be absolutely focused when doing their jobs but real individuals with a clear hierarchy. I was surprised how friendly they were with him when not on the job.

Dogs are not really different to people. most are generally OK, (and a lot of them are better natured than people) but just like with people, you always get a percentage of utter a*seholes. The more there are the higher the actual number of a*seholes.If you don't understand the above, then with respect, you probably shouldn't own a Dog!
