Popular Post christian71 3,187 Posted November 6, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 There's been a lot of debate in the news recently about how to tackle the growing problem of children being attacked by 'fighting dogs' such as Bull Terriers, which are often owned by Chavs who use them as weapons and status symbols. I think the only reasonable solution is to have the lot of them rounded up and humanely destroyed. And their dogs rehomed. 24 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire dan 467 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Completely agree. We have 3 children and 3 dogs a cocker spaniel (working) and 2 bull terriers and they are like one of the kids. They love the children and I'd trust them anyday of the week 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,191 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Everyone with any sense knows it's the owner and not the dog thats the problem... why you'd leave any dog alone with a small child is beyond me, and the dicks that buy them and coup them up all day in a flat going stir crazy then walk them about at night like they're f***ing rocky ... But it's owners in general not just chav's, like the ever so polite 50 odd year old woman who was walking her big english bull, the dog comes bounding over to me with her chasing behind, my lurcher on the lead and my JRT playing ball with my brother, all of the kids out plus the wives.. this dog goes straight for the terrier, grabs it round the middle and pins it down, I had to choke the f***ing thing off with it's collar... whilst the very well spoken woman was saying " that's enough now, you hurt him" .. wtf put the twatting thing on a lead and it wont attack dogs and end up being choked you moron.. I end up with 2 crying kids who now want to go home, the terrier was fine...what would she have done to get it off?.. Prevention is better than cure, dogs are animals at the end of the day too many people seem to think they are humans and will behave in the same way... the problem being now bull breeds are attracting idiot owners 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire dan 467 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 That's true a dog can turn at anytime. Not just cull breeds but all dogs. The most dog bites in the world has been caused by collies and labradors. I agree that bull terriers cause a lot more damage than most other dogs but that isn't the point. Like I said fact is labs and collies have bitten more than any other breed. My 2 terriers have been attacked 6 times and never reacted these were only small yorkie and jack russel dogs didn't harm my terriers but just goes to show how well behaved they are Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 No need for bull breed of any sort unless you trying to look hard,your dealing in drugs or you fight these dogs they have no place in a family home think what they are bred for guarding or fighting yes other dogs do attack but because of the reason the bull breeds are bred for they cause a hell of a lot more damage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kruby01 114 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I too have three bull breeds, Im 23, I have tattoos and I walk them on chain leads. Am I a Chav and a bad owner? Should my dogs be put down? My dogs have been with Shropshire Dans kids and they have been with my exes kid, I have a picture of my exes kid stood on one of my dogs and it couldn't care less! I walk them on chain leads because one of them chews leads and I also happen to like them! I dont think I'm rocky as the nearest house is over a mile away from me and the next house is about 3 miles so I dont know who I am trying to impress. I have pictures of my dogs cuddled up with the ferrets and ive also had one of them come running to me for help with a ferret locked onto its lip! Do a bit of research on bull breeds before you shout about what the media tells you! As Dan said about bite statistics, google it! Bull breeds are amongst the lowest percentage of attacks of most breeds! I guarantee the breeds you think are safe around your kids are the same breeds that failed! Yes its only bull breeds that make the headlines because they are status dogs and that needs to be sorted but not every young lad with a dog is a chav with a dangerous dog! I'm fed up of ignorant people like you hearing half a story on the news and thinking you have the perfect solution. As I said, try google. Staffies and pit bulls are known as the nanny dog and have been for centuries, why? Because they are good with kids! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire dan 467 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Here here Billy My 2 bull breeds are females and 1 wears pink and the other black. The bigger of the 2 uses a chain leash mostly because she chews and of course she looks better with a chain lead. In the statistics my cocker breed has bitten more people than my bull terriers. They are protective, love the kids and most of all very loyal dogs. + I'd rather my 2 bull terriers around than 2 collies if someone broke in my house Quote Link to post Share on other sites
