I have witnessed many times 30-40 yr old idiots who can't control a 5-7kg dog whilst older people in their 60-70's are perfectly controlling 50 kg plus dogs. Perhaps it is more about dog owner responsibility being exercised than age. And t's usually the 5 kg type dogs attacking the much larger dogs around here.

@LMO. I remember all of those arrogant male Gynaecologists from my younger days. They thought they were God. Glad the dogs are ok.

@Papillion Kisses Yes. Woollies chooks have been the plat du jour for some years now.

In my area it's the lack of enforcement by council officers. There have been cases around here where council haven't even contacted witnesses whose details were recorded in the written complaint . Council dismissed the attacks entirely saying there wasn't enough evidence to proceed . And that's what witnesses are for to support the attack complaints and give their version of what they witnessed.

Have you got any Troy Nutripet on hand to stimulate her appetite. And the Woolies chooks are the best. Especially warm. Extensively tried and tested here by my 2.

Havanese. Not yappy but happy and easy going. Good companion dogs. Every Havanese I have met has been absolutely delightful. And I'm a big dog lover and owner.

My last Giant was absolutely charming and had a great sense of humour. And he was an absolute delight. Unfortunately not all dogs have a sense of humour as you probably know.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-13/dog-returned-after-being-found-across-bering-sea-alaska/102220854 Amazing story. This dog travelled over 241 kilometres of frozen Bering Sea ice.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-65111668 According to the article al the dogs with cropped ears had had the procedure carried out abroad. I've never seen this before on this breed. I've seen Dobes & GS's etc wth cropped ears but not American Bully types. Is this new?

We thought we were going to have him PTS. And he was a replacement for an older dog we had to have PTS several months prior. We sat in our car at SASH waiting for the CT results with both of us crying our eyes out. We were just lucky to be able to see that particular Kidney Specialist and we both agree she saved our pup's life. Sorry you had to have the pup PTS DogsAnd The Mob. I agree with asal and would never choose the runt of the litter ever again.

6 years ago I purchased a pedigree dog from QLD. When I arrived at the airport to collect the dog I was shocked that the dog was so small. Especially since his sibling sister in the crate next to him and was substantially bigger.. He was sickly and didn't want to eat. I couldn't figure out what was wrong as he kept whimpering I thought he may have hip dysplasia. We booked him into the vet for an x-ray and I was asked if I wanted to do bloods etc as they normally didm't do bloods etc on a dog so young. I insisted on the bloods & urine because I knew there was something wrong with the dog. The urine showed high levels of creatine so they didn't go ahead with the x-ray. We were referred to SASH. SASH did an ultra sound and found he had kidney dysplasia. The specialist at SASH was wonderful. He has been on a special diet all of his life but he is well and very robust and his life is that of a normal dog. 2/3 walks and plays daily . He's just smaller than breed standard. He is now 6 and a half years old. Just lucky we insisted on blood and urine tests prior to anaesthetic otherwise we would have lost him.

I usually just say"he's in training" and most people will just grab their dogs. I'm happy with that as it's exactly what I would do if that was said to me.

I'm not surprised this happened after viewing some of the videos. "Bitten on the face", That's more than a bite on the face.
