Your blindness support for letting dogs off leads appear to be clouding your judgement and ability to read.

The point I'm making is letting your dogs off lead is risky. Risky for you and for others.

Ps I'm off to beat my three with pictures of people and dogs I don't like just to be sure they lunge at them when accidentally coming across them. Whilst foaming at the mouth and eyes.
No it's not. Might be for you and yours but as I've said before many many years of owning lots of dogs and never once had an issue.

Let me concluded that for you. until you have one. oh he's never done that before.

The Vet will back me up here.(hopefully) Mrs Spoon is a vet. You approach all dogs with the same respect and caution every time.

Actually, I think the point you’ve (more than adequately) made is that your dogs are dangerous and letting them off the lead would be catastrophic.

I'd rather it was Sturgeon but locums are generally terrified until they learn about nasty dogs off their leads

He started small but got big

If (not when) that happens I'll worry about it then.

Why the roll eyes? If dogs affect you that much then best you stay indoors - they’re not all going to suddenly disappear just because you don’t like them being near you.
Is it too difficult to under someone doesn't want dogs approaching them? You have a choice to control your dogs the person being approached or chased doesn't have a choice. How is that fair? Your choice to have a dog does over rule another person's right to enjoy the outdoors.
So what do you do if you’re walking towards someone who has a dog on a lead? Do you expect them to turn around just because you don’t like dogs? Do you turn around? Who’s choice comes first here - you and your hatred of dogs or me just walking a dog on a lead? It’s difficult to understand irrational paranoia or hatred.
Who said they hated dogs? If its on a lead its under control so the owner has done their bit.

I will say it again everybody should have freedom/right to go about their business without being chased or approached uninvited. You can have a dog its your choice to control it properly rights are more important than choices.
If you’re walking towards someone along a narrow path with a dog on a lead how do you stop that person being approached uninvited? If the dog’s doing nothing what’s the problem? Ooh, ooh, he invaded my space, I’ve been violated, it’s not fair, my rights have been abused. Keep your fking dog under control. FFS.
You stop and hold the dog away from them? Its not difficult! They will then walk past and go on with their day or they might love your dog and engage everyone's happy.
Why can’t they stop and move out the way? They’re the ones with the unfounded paranoia, why is it up to me to change for their benefit, why can’t they change for mine?

I think letting you off a lead would be worse. wink

You're right about one thing, letting any husky off a lead would result in a disaster. Every husky orientated organisation in the world will happily promote that.


Nothing aggressive about any of my three rescue huskies.

They only get excited when your off lead stupid mutt gets frightened and usually aggressive with them. That's when your dog realises it ain't so big and clever, so consequently, keep it on a lead and away from me and anyone else.

Problem solved.

Ps I love you.

No worries. Walking 3 Huskies is a problem waiting to happen IMO.
whys that?
I know a guy who uses his two huskies to pull his wheelchair down the road in the park.
Brave man!
Haha cool. i've been on a husky led sled ride in deep snow, northern Ontario, it was very good fun but my overwhelming memory is that they absolutely honked. 8 huskies up front, iirc, and not sure what they were feeding them but they were very windy.

Spooney, your ego is massive.

Eons ago I let my ego manifest itself in a dog that attacked everything that needed sorting. He had no equal back then. Now I have a dog called sausage :-) and I don't need to 'big up myself' on here or the local park. I'm a contented chap ;-) My ego is well under control and I'm not following 3 hairy bottoms on my daily walks.

I don't have an ego. I have knives, forks and occasionally teaspoons.

You seem to misunderstand here. As does the others who have made an assumption that huskies and my huskies are aggressive.

What you fail to see (read) because you don't want to is when your off lead dog runs up to my three nothing much happens untill your off lead dogs gets frightened, then lashes out, then gets its arse handed to it. Yes I've used that sentence again

So keep your mutts on your leads and guess what, no dog gets injured.

But alas, they are clearly aggressive dangerous dogs.

Only an idiot will let their dog near a group of 35kg animals that clearly have the means to defend themselves.

You wouldn't let your dog run near three unknown alsatians, rottweilers, grate Danes or anything similar and I would expect anyone with an ounce of sense to understand your off lead dog poses a threat to any on lead dog.


I'm merely making explaining it in simplistic terms, let your loose dog near my three and if your loose dog threatens them, then expect a suitable reaction.

So consequently put your bloody dogs on leads.

+1 for the rights to arms crowd. You can't educate pork.
You seem to have a reading problem.

The problem with Rottweilers is when they run their cheeks and jowls flop about, which shows the Rottweiler grin which to be honest can look quite scary. It’s also when they can look happiest.

Whatever the dog, aslong as the owner is able to read the situation around them and make sensible decisions, then mostly everything will be fine and no-one will feel nervous or scared or in any way troubled.

My 2 are off the lead a lot now but they are always kept close till I can be sure they are not in a silly mood. If they are it’s back on the lead.

Dave!

Who the hell do you think you are saying someone has unfounded paranoia! You don't know anyone's past Dogs can and do kill, if you have an animal that can do that then take responsibility for it. Are you incapable of seeing a prospective other than your own?

Are you? I’m happily walking along with a placid dog trotting along minding his own business and we have to move because you’re afraid of a dog invading your personal space? If it affects you that much then YOU move - why should everyone have to change to accommodate you? What makes you think you’re a better person than a dog owner so they have to bow down to your paranoia?

two of the most important pics of my life of the most important dog I've ever had, miss him so much, Scooby has much to live up to, but he does a better job than some of the posters on here. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FORUM FOR ANIMAL LOVERS, HONESTLY THE TALK IS APPALLING
