mixeduppup

Of course

I wish I had you for secret santa, you'd be getting my extra season 2 of Jonathan Creek Then you would love him forever

QI is awesome. I love Alan Davies, I'd happily watch him stare at a wall!

I never miss it, should be very fun

How about a SCHNAUZER?

I agree with this as well. I actually think some people should start off with something in a cage, small and relatively harmless, like maybe a rabbit. Some people should never progress to dogs at all. Sea monkeys might be a viable alternative for them :p you haven't seen my rabbit on a bad day :laugh: I know what you mean, I dont have any scars from a dog bite, My imported from England Netherland Dwarf buck? He certainly should be registered as dangerous,,,and muzzled. The only way I could make him let go my thumb. Knock him out with the feed scoop. Still have that scar. I thought its the Polish that many Judges refuse to work with? My mini lop buck can be a real arsehat lol

Well maybe one of these breeds is in foster care :laugh:

How about a Toy Poodle or a Silky?

nope

Italian Greyhound or whipper sound like good matches.

it is true that APBT and similar breeds are endowed with more power than other breeds and this gives them more potential to inflict greater damage when/if they do decide to attack either human or canine. I believe BSL is utter shite but I think there needs to be control in place because of the potential these dogs have if put in the wrong hands.

I'm watching the Canadian one right now. This guy is so whiney. gorgeous dogs!

yes show greys have to be muzzled too. GAP greys have to be desexed, except for NSW, where they will make an exception for a greyhound being show. It's another reason mine aren't walked around the streets. Bit unfair for them to be muzzled and unable to defend themselves while other dogs are free to cause trouble. Yes that seems very unfair. And if they were found to be unmuzzled even if it was the other dog's fault you/your dog would probably be blamed.

Here's another picture.

nope

umm greyhounds are nothing like a bull breed and Australia is one of only 2 countries in the whole world that require greyhounds to be muzzled. Greyhounds who are not cat safe can pass. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there tests now for greys and green collared ones (I think it's green) can be walked without a muzzle? yes there are but as I said non cat safe dogs can and do pass. A greyhound is nothing like a bull breed in temperament. Countries world wide have problems with "pitbulls" not with greyhounds, even though greyhounds have got loose and killed other dogs in the past. Greyhounds, in general, get on fine with other dogs because they have always had to, either in history when they hunted as part of a pack, or more recently on the race track. Fighters are of no use to anyone and usually destroyed. They are not bred from. I suppose that's fair enough with the cats, a lot of dogs wouldn't be cat safe. As long as they are on leash which all dogs should be in public anyway I don't see the issue with passing non-catsafe greys. I'm glad the testing exists now for some greys to get a chance. Off track for a second. Do show greys fall under the same legislation and need to wear muzzles as well? I may have asked this before but can't remember.

That would fix most of the dog problems.

Yes that is what was said but that isnt really relevant - nor could an "expert" be sure anyway - would it have been any different if they had been or resembled a different breed? Several years ago 2 Show Rotties attacked and killed a couple of young girls walking in a park - its still horrible and any dog regardless of what breed it resembles needs to be contained and on leash. making laws for one breed type doesnt do anything to stop other breed types doing exactly the same thing. Exactly. As far as I'm concenred breed is irrelevant. We all know a bigger dog has the potential to do more damage, it doesn't mean anything unless the council enforce the laws they already have and look at targeting irresponsible owners more. I was asking out of interest as someone on the previous page stated they were pitties masquerading as amstaffs so council didn't seize them.

Didn't the news report say an expert had inspected the dogs and said they were amstaff crossbreds?

I actually chose it because it was the best lol.

Did you call Ned a "monster"? No. RIP Ned and your Resolved thread if you want to remind yourself. I am certainly reminded of Ned every time you put forth an opinion on dogs. But you said amstaffs were one of your three favourite breeds and you'd worked with them in the past. ned has no place in this thread and I believe your posts are inflammatory and hurtful Amstaffs are one of my favourite breeds and I have worked with them, I've never studied their colouring and have never worked with an amstaff of the colouring of the dogs in the thread. It is truly difficult to read posts such as these from someone who attested she knew everything,and then, unable to manage a Gordon Setter, had him put down rather that let club rescue or some experienced person take and assess him. It does seem that your kmowledge of bull breeds is about the same as your knowledge of GS - from your own words. And yes, I do find it very hurtful to hear of a dog being denied his full chance in life because someone thought they knew everthing. Dogs - whether rescues or from breeders are for life, not until they menace the chooks. If you don't have the experience, let someone else handle it Check your facts. I gave him to rescue who after assessment had him pts. But this has nothing to do with anything and I would rather not talk about it.

Forgot it was on tonight. I'll watch it on the morrow, sounds like entertainment plus!

The majority of bull breeds are wonderful dogs it's the minority that give them a bad name. I think people need to go through an owner course to own a dog.
