the way the staffies really are......given a chance
Born Hunter replied to jigsaw's topic in General Talk
My personal view would be that I wouldn't have that type of dog if I wasn't happy with the types behaviour. It'd be like stopping a spaniel from hunting or a greyhound from running, it's what they are bred for. But i don't see that as the same as a dog acting aggresively to it's owner over food. I just don't see it as acceptable behaviour as I don't see killing sheep as acceptable behaviour, albeit both 'natural' behaviours. If I thought it was damaging the dog in any way mentally i would reassess it but I really don't see it. I'm not fecking behaviourist, just see what's in front of me. Perha -

But if you did have a dog turn dropping it's head bearing it's teeth snarling at you when you got near it while it had a bone or food and then snapping at your hand when you went to take it would you consider it acceptable? If I understand you right you see it as pointless because you have never had a dog aggressively protect it's food? But what if you did? My parents 29" Greyhound was a right evil c**t with a bone, doing exactly that. It was a behaviour in part due to a life as a kenneled racer but I despise it in a dog and the bitch was tought different. Just wondering if you consider th -
Not a bad bit of sport there Rake!

I think the Yanks kill Coyote's simply because they are a pest and kill stock and cost farmers money ! How much damage wolves do to stock, I don't know, and I don't think they are legal game in most states, but I'm sure one of our Colonial Cousins will let us know. I think I would definately run coyote with dogs, and Dan has invited me out there whenever I want to go, but I wouldn't feel the same about shooting wolves, and I'm sure they dont run them with dogs ! Cheers. I dare say they hunt them for the sport as well. Wasn't it documented that Custer or Rossevelt ran wolves wit

Born Hunter replied to jigsaw's topic in General Talk
We,re not talking about changing bedding we,re talking about feeding..............the one time of the day a dog gets to be " a dog " within the home environment and im going to come along and say " no stop that behaviour right now "........no way. I believe you can use a dogs intelligence both for and against you i dont feel i need to break a dog down mentally to get his respect.....if a dog doesnt have the intelligence in the first place to be able to give up a possession then he wont be around long anyway.......but giving up on his dinner,no i wont make a dog do that i dont think its necess -

Suppose the dog gets hold of something it shouldn't and starts to devour it, if the animal thinks that it can face you down when it is eating what are you going to do? If it's okay for the dog to square up to you over a bone is it okay with it's kennel as well? What happens when you need to change it's bedding? I understand what you are saying but aggressive possesiveness is something I wouldn't tollerate. A dog snapping after taking any amount of shit like tail pulling and generally being overly man handled is fair enough but aggressive possesiveness towards me isn't. -

Born Hunter replied to jigsaw's topic in General Talk
I'm not saying I believe in bugging a dog constantly to 'test' it's steadiness but I do make a point of checking them in certain situation like eating. If a dog persistantly showed aggression it would be gone. Constantly pulling at a dog ears when it doesn't want it is one thing but the dog gaurding anything from me is 100% unacceptable as far as I'm concerned. JMO -

FFS Paulus, are you opening a bloody knife museum? What business you in? Any jobs going? LOL -
Don't particularly bother me, we don't get those sort of numbers though. If anyone has a problem with what I do on my permissions then I really couldn't give a f**k and tell them as much.

How old is teagan socks? Have you ever done any beating/shooting work with her out of intrest? I like to see pups behave like that, it gives you a bit of confidence if nothing else. I'm waiting for a pup out of a friends little lamping bitch but she didn't take last time and we are a bit worried she might be in the same boat as your teagan. I don't mind waiting though.

Ask yourselves what is 'recession'......... It's not bullshit, we are out of recession by definition! That's fact! What's bullshit is the general belief that getting out of recession will instantly fix everything and we will be as prosperous as we were in the late 90s/turn of the century.

Still, considering they're all so happy and civilised, it's not exactly low is it? LOL. I'm pretty sure it was only a tongue in cheek dig though anyway.

But they're happy Scot. Topping themselves with happiness. LOL

That's not really fair at all though is it? A tax based on house size. Just because a person puts there hard earned into a house means they should be taxed to f**k on it? Surely your house is just an asset so a much fairer tax would be an asset tax if that is what you are advocating? Then also a fun tax, anybody that spends there money on enjoyment should be taxed proportionally to their enjoyment. etc etc. Having a mansion tax is certainly not common sense.... It's another example of spitefull jealousy.

It's American.......... they'll have an automated .50 mounted on top with 350 pounds of ammunition.

Similar sort of technology that they will be using for extraterrestrial exploration soon I would think. A legged machine has certain all-terrain advantages over a conventional wheeled machine. Just a shite load more complex.

I can't see the vid on this machine. Is it of the DARPA legged squad support system? Fecking mad some of the top end military projects. "Rise of the machines" lol Interestingly and coincidentally the British military satalite network is called 'Skynet'.......

Some people are rich because they have worked very hard in their lives, and have spent their money on a large property which over the years has increased in value making them asset rich and relatively cash poor, as opposed to others who have had expensive holidays, cars, and very active costly social lives. Others have inherited from their relatives who have also made sacrifices to put their children in that position. Others have chosen job satisfaction or a cause as a priority over money, and some have chosen not to work at all, and of course some have been very unlucky or lucky for whatever

what else are you going to do let them set up an ambush and fire upon you ? i doubt that very much at the end of the day they no the risks of protecting the taliban, if they still wish to do so then on there head be it. if the locals didnt allow the taliban to come into there village and live amongst them there would be no problems I'm in no way makng a judgement but you can't expect the locals to just tell the taliban to f**k off and happily grass em up to the ISAF troops. if someone was hitting your gaf all the time with hellfire missiles gunfire not to mension the IEDs that t

Christ, it just shows you how big those wild beef steaks are when head to head with what looks to be a decent sized stag.

Apparently those yank Apaches carry 1200 of the 30mm.............. I'm assuming we didn't see some of it because I don't think I counted anywhere near 1200 before they ran out. Also the standard of performance on a 'wheeled target' around 1000m away is at least one hit from 30 shots.
