Littlebullydog

Had a friend ring him around 2 months ago, and only for an AI, and apparently he isnt working at all now

This is a very sad outcome for the family of the little girl.....but one thing I do question, is how was this dog to actually just wander INTO their house to actually do this in the first place -its winter, werent the doors closed. Its saying this happened IN their house. Also how did the dog get OUT of its property? There is many questions as to how, and why this sort of thing has happened. Then there is the news articles, and public opinion that state it was a Pitbull....was it actually a Pitbull cross, or some other Bullbreed cross?, seems alot of dogs get tagged as Pitbulls when they are not...I have had this several times, with my Dogue De Bordeauxs, Ive been asked "Is that a Pitbull, or a Red Nosed Pitbull?" because they are a Bullbreed and they have red noses....NO MY DOGS ARENT PITBULLS! My dogs are even DNAed so that should there ever an incident (hopefully not) that the right breed is classified. Society needs to educate the public..why not make it people should get a license to own a dog, take it from them should they ever not conform to the rules and regulations in Responsible Dog Ownership! In the 1990's I too owned Pitbulls, I was a member of The Pitbull Club of Victoria, we had regulated shows, our Patron of the club was a doctor -not some muscle bound, tattooed thug..yet we were all classed as not so likeable Pitbull owners -even back then 20+ years ago they were on the band wagon to try and ban Pitbulls. Our shows were held monthly with no incidents, 50+ Pitbulls all at the same location at the one time. Rules were made that there was 'no facing' of dogs ..meaning do not allow your dog to make eye contact with another dog, which everyone followed -if your dog made eye contact, you simply walked the other way. This correct training method made it possible for our shows to happen without incident. Each and every dog that were at these shows had judges examine then for both confirmation and weight pull....once again this meant contact with complete strangers, and once again without a single incident ever happening. Our motto was 'Punish the deed, not the breed!'....which I still firmly believe today. COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC but...Today in our local news a boy was killed by a cow whilst milking, their has been other incidents were cows and bulls have killed many farmers......yet we dont see 'Ban the Cow/Bull'...oh thats right, we still use them for meat purposes, and also for the milk that you have with your cuppa each day. Cars kill people, but we still choose to drive on a daily basis. Speed kills people, yet I bet almost 95% that have replied to this have at some time hit high speeds whilst travelling. Guns kill people, we make people have licenses to own them, and let the so called experts use them....yet Police have also killed people with guns. Smoking kills people, yet we can still buy them at our local supermarket, petrol station, corner shop. Sharks kill people, yet we still choose to swim in the sea. Hey even snakes can kill people, yet we still choose to house them and keep them as pets. Society is not safe, everything we do can kill us So my question is by banning the Pitbull...how on earth is this going to make the world a better place? People die, thats life -unfortunately some come to grief in very sad circumstances...but by banning one breed, it wont stop there! First it will be the Pitbull, then cause its a Terrier they'll say after another attack it was another terrier or Bullbreed involved, so then it will be your Staffordshire BULL TERRIER, BULL TERRIER, BULL Mastiff..basically any dog with the word BULL or TERRIER attached to it name. Then should anymore attacks occur after banning all the Bull and Terrier breeds, it will come down to size of dog....at the end of the day all we will be able to own is the designer pocket rocket dogs Heres a link thats been around for awhile, how many of the general public can actually identify the real PITBULL http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/findpit.html There is no way around this whole ban this, dont do this, that'll kill ya world that we live in, the only thing we can do to TRY and make the world a better place is EDUCATION. When and where possible try an educate people that simply cant tell wrong from right, good from bad etc etc Sorry for the long rant, but Ive heard this plea to ban Pitbulls for 20+ years, and Im sick of hearing it _________________

My young Dogue gets "Problem Child" cause he is for ever getting into stuff he shouldn't

There is a product called Cribstop, sold at Horse shops, generally stops horses from chewing on stable doors/fences -so is safe to use on wood

Charch is pure spunk, love him to pieces

Lovely shots of such a lovely dog OMG looks like someone has fur stuck between their teeth, either that or dentures too big for such a little dog. Luckily for the little one Bulldogs are so laid back

How is the puppy going today?

:rolleyes: I LOVE those photos, so I had to click on your site to see what else you have..... and now you must PM me with details on what you charge to take such photos, I would absolutely love one of Dessert ...once again, excellent pics

Good job Sway...wish someone had thought of this earlier, as I noticed a breeder with the SAME breed as mine, and the SAME prefix, and I have had mine for almost 14years.....only she is in New Zealand - still a little too close. You are welcome to add mine, it is SITTINGBULL British Bulldogs also Dogue de Bordeauxs

Is it your Bulldog Storm?

Sounds like your dog doesnt see you as the 'leader', by the way he is ignoring you when you ask him to 'Leave It'. The way in which you ask him to leave it, needs to more dominant -such as a lower, maybe even growlier voice. Rather than putting your dog in a Sit position, try a Drop position - just by doing this you are asking the dog to be more submissive....do not stay down on the ground with him, stand up, if he gets up, put him back into the Drop position, stand up- but this time try putting your foot on the lead, so that he may only raise his head enough to be comfortable (so say 10cm for a small dog, 20cm for a medium and around 30cm for a large dog) You will still be holding the lead with your hand. At some stage he may lift his backend off the ground, pop it back down with your left hand, and tell him 'Leave It'. Let other dogs pass you by, only when he is relaxed then walk off...if he looks over his shoulder at the other dog, don't stop just keep walking straight ahead. If he gets excited by dogs behind fences that bark, walk past these houses and get him to 'Drop' again, only leave once he has relaxed and caled down. With each lesson, you should notice a slight difference, and before long you will find him taking less interest -as its not so much fun being the submissive one, when you want to meet other dogs :D Also remember PRAISE, and the correct time to give it.

So sorry to hear of Occys sad sad news, may Sandy go to a better place, and tell Occy hopefully Sandy gets to meet up with Dianne and all the great GSD's of time I didnt know Sandy, but tears from such a heartfelt contribution, shows she truly was a loved dog, what more can she ask for...Occy rest assured you have done your best, and given Sandy more than a decade of love and happiness -even if she did play second fiddle to Cappy at times. All the best with Billy....but he's certainly got some big paws to fill

It would have been because it would be deemed as 'causing harm' if the winning bidder, didnt know how to effectively work the 'prong' collar on their pet.
