Law

I've seen Boodzey run head first into a brick wall at full speed, shake his head and keep going as if nothing happened :laugh:

So hard. I hate watching Trixie age and I dread having to one day make that decision.

Yay that's awesome, so glad to hear she's doing better.

:laugh: Trixie always magically appears when you're preparing food. Also at breakfast and dinner time she certainly doesn't seem 17 the way she leaps around jumping in the air!

How terrifying Kirislin! I hope she's ok, keep us updated

Love hearing these stories! My Blue Heeler Trixie is 17 :) she's doing pretty well with this heat too so hopefully she'll be around for a while yet.

:D

She always lies with her paws crossed :laugh:

This is my Trixie, she's 17 and still going strong :D

Would the footage be online yet? I missed the news I wanna see if I made it on to the telly!!! Weather was terrible but I really enjoyed it was great listening to all of the speakers and being around like minded people

Oh.my.god. You are so good at missing the point. No point continuing this discussion with you. You think BSL will stop dog attacks...you will soon see for yourself that this is not the case. BSL hasn't stopped those deaths from other dogs has it? What do you suggest? We ban all dogs? Education is the only answer.

Did you see the amount of breeds on those lists? I think the point there is that it will not stop at Pitbulls, well it already has progressed...now all bully type dogs are at risk.

I'll assume you're addressing Darla Napora's fatal attack. She had had the dog since it was a puppy. She was a member of a Pitbull Action group. Are you going to say that she must have mistreated the dog? How is my post "obvious emotion invoking"? I'm not trying to "piss people off". Show me where anyone that is not a Pitbull Advocate or AntiBSL is going to be annoyed by my posts? Zara asked if BSL works. The Pitbull Advocates like yourself want to trot out the same old story of "BSL doesn't work". Blah Blah Blah. It does work, I've shown it does. Did you listen to the Radio Stream? Bet you didn't because it's not what you want to hear. Are you going to explain Darla Napora's fatal attack or do the usual Pitbull Advocates thing of "blame the victim"? Oh you've already done that "Hey Clubsprint, how about the entire history of the dog and it's relationship with humans. Is that enough proof?" OK, away you go, tell us all about it? I'm here to speak for the other side. If you're not a Pitbull Advocate why would you get upset at my posts? where did I say I was not an advocate for Pitbulls? I'm an advocate for all dogs. This thread is pretty much full of people against BSL, you know that. "Zara, be prepared for all sorts of abuse if you come down on the side of BSL. Pitbull advocates will accuse you of all sorts of things while they try really hard to quote you all sorts of figures to try and prove their case. They will make all sorts of rubbish claims whilst using other Pitbull Advocates to back up their myths. They encourage the all sorts of myths, falsifications and hysteria about BSL to scare owners of other breeds to back them up. They say "IT's Pitbull's now and once they're gone they'll pick on Roti's or Dobes or GSDs or etc." Of course this is unfounded. They'll accuse you of lying, or trolling and wont accept that you can be a dog lover and want to still want to eradicate these unpredictable liabilities." <----- this You think Darla Napora is the first person to be killed by a dog? Are you trying to say that it is only Pitbulls that are capable of killing people. I wasn't there so I am not going to make any assumptions on what happened. Fact is that the victim does play a part in a dog attack, so does the owner but blame is being placed solely on the dog. Who is the one that trained it? Socialised it? Put it in that situation. The other issue is societies need to blame someone. Sometimes shit happens! It's terrible but it does. Killing all bully type dogs will not eradicate dog attacks. You don't have to be a Pitbull advocate to be against BSL. I am not here to try and turn you into a Pitbull lover I am trying to make you see that BSL doesn't work and more, that the new laws in Victoria are just wrong. Just listen to what the experts say. This will not stop tragic incidents like what happened to Darla Napora. Your all caught up in blaming someone, how could this happen? We must do something now! That you are missing the logical answer. It is not just bully type dogs that attack people so how will eradicating them make society any safer?

Regardless of whether you like Pitbulls or not BSL is not the answer. You just can't judge an entire breed by the deeds of a few. It is so blindingly obvious what is needed: education for owners, the ones who create dangerous dogs. The whole thing is completely hysteria driven. BSL and the new laws in Victoria are genocide and we're letting it happen. No matter what breed the laws are targeting it is not right, we should all be banding together for all dogs not picking and choosing depending on our chosen breed.

Hey Clubsprint, how about the entire history of the dog and it's relationship with humans. Is that enough proof? You're not deemed a troll because you disagree. I think you're a troll because of your completely obvious emotion invoking posts. Your just trying to piss people off. Simple.

This is what annoys me. No one ever asks the question 'What happened to cause this' dogs do not just attack people for no reason. There is always a reason, sometimes it is just not obvious to people who don't have much knowledge about dog behaviour and body language, and sometimes it's so bleeding obvious but no one is willing to take the blame on themselves

This scares me I shouldn't have to worry about my dog being destroyed just because of the way he looks

ACD's FTW

My dog always knows when I am going to take her for a walk. As soon as the thought pops into my head, even before I have started getting changed into runners etc its freaky! ETA I don't think dogs have a sixth sense. I think they have heightened senses compared to us which might sometimes seem like sixth sense but can probably be explained by science

I am so sorry I adored looking at the beautiful photos of RocnRalph Big Fella

She's in Ringwood East

Now that ADT is no longer where have people moved on to? I have a friend who was with ADT and now isn’t sure where to go, I told her I’d help her find a good school. She would prefer somewhere where you can pay for each class or maybe a term at a time. She mentioned that she liked the idea of Bark Busters but I am pretty sure I have heard bad things about them here...but couldn’t remember....and I couldn’t find any threads regarding them.

Yeah come to Warrandyte and walk along the river, plenty of lovely places to swim

Yes they are there for dogs to have a run around and a play but it cant just be one big free for all owners still need to monitor and control their dogs.
