Dog breed XL Bullys to be banned

Add Huskies to that list too.

 

These dogs are bred to be violent. That are a weapon. Shouldn’t be anywhere near a family. In this case it’s the breed and the owners.

 

You mean Staffordshire BULL terriers ie. terroriser of bulls. Again, there's a clue in the name.

 

Yes, the Tories who havn't even properly banned hunting with dogs yet.

 

Best stick lovable labs on that list too.......sithi.

 

Start off by muzzling all the dangerous ones i.e. any dog that could cause serious harm or death. Ban breeding of certain dogs. Castrate all male 'bad' dogs.

That's for starters......

 

Re dog bites not being reported. Grainne got a really nasty bite from next door's working sheep dog a few months back. It's worth about two or three grand and is vital to their livelihood so how can you report it? She's still got four teeth mark scars and gets pain from it. Just because most bites aren't reported doesn't mean they're insignificant.

 

Got to agree these people crop the ears to make them look more vicious and breeders trying to make big profits on flogging them.

 

Staffordshire bull terriers and other bull terrier breeds get a bad name because they are generally aggressive towards other dogs. Not generally towards humans. Infact I'd say Jack Russell's are more aggressive towards humans.

 

This afternoon whilst visiting Anne's aunty in Newcastle, a bloke walked down the pavement with his dog not on a lead. But not just any old dog, a Rottweiler FFS - the day after the news is full of a dog-kills-man story. Whether or not the dog is the most well behaved you can imagine, it's still descended from a wolf and would make mincemeat of a grown man never mind a child. Some people never cease to amaze me with their lack of thought.

 

this is our Oz (Am bull) with my dearly departed staffie Ty.
Ty was the most loving dog you could imagine the only time he ever showed any aggression towards another dog was when some daft bint had her gerrman shepherd off a lead and it charged at my two kids when we were out for a walk, other than that he never showed any interest in another dog.........sithi.

 

My mates got English Bulls nice dogs very friendly, but even when he is walking them folk cross the road because of how they look and the bull terrier breed. There not keen on other dogs but great with people.

 

Trouble with some owners is they treat their dogs or fur babies ffs!! as equals, they aren't!, a dog is a pack animal and needs to know who's boss or pack leader which is the owner but unfortunately with too many folk those lines are blurred for example letting the dog share your bed or letting bad behaviour go unchallenged, a dog needs boundaries or they think they are in charge and not the owner and that's when problems start...........sithi.

 

Good point re muzzling a dog when out in public. Experts seem to say it's not cruel. So why not do it. ?
Not sure I do them all but certainly those on the dangerous breed register.

 

My Uncle had two female Rottweilers growing up, if you went round when he was in they were the softest most gentle dogs you could ever meet but if you went round when he was out they were like different animals, being very loud and aggressive.
He claimed it was because they knew he was the Alpha in the house and when out they were being protective in his absence.

 

And who decides what a 'bad' male dog is ? What's the criteria? A dog that's got a history of poor behaviour or just any dog that fits the your category of 'bad' male dog "thats a male Rottweiler chop it's boll@cks off"..........sithi.

 

A wãnkers dog. A dog bred by wãnkers, for wãnkers. Personally my preference would be to ban wãnkers, but given that we know that wãnkers proliferate every walk of life, the next best thing you can do is ban wãnker's dogs. Of which the XL Bully is top of the hit parade.

 

They do require a licence that's the current law if

• breeding 3 or more litters of puppies in any 12-month period - unless they can prove that none of the puppies have been sold as puppies or adults
• breeding dogs and advertising a business of selling dogs - as defined under the business test This is enforced by the local authority, but back street breeders have no regard for their dogs, consequences or the law unfortunately. Much tougher action and enforcement is required.
