Aggressive Dogs

[bunnyboiler 1,054]

Mines a pain to but mine is all gob especially with other male lurchers I think it's because he's the alpha male in his group so let's the other dogs know he's the boss

Wouldn't want to shout at a dog for chasing anyone in Lycra...should be getting a medal for chasing them c.nts lol

I avoid other dog walkers wherever possible, I've never had a fighter yet but this collie cross is up for it and i don't want him to start.

Had one incident here in 3 years of walking dogs........in England it was a regular occurrence. People here seem more likely to have dogs they don't trust on a lead.

Apparently it's a fine here to have a dog off the lead in a public place. It doesn't appear to be well enforced, but I think it deters a lot of people with twat dogs....

Glad I'm not the only one haha, my younger dog is 10 months old and has been well socialised he's very dog friendly as for my older bitch she's retired now and seems to have got mardier with age, wouldn't class her as a nasty bitch, if she's off the lead and see's another dog she will walk straight back to me to be put on the lead but if a dog she doesn't know approaches her especially when she's on the lead she will whack it, funny old cow really

Had the same issues or 4 dogs all sound with others but the terrier especially has to go and sniff every dog around and say hello to every person we see. I don't discourage it as think it's part of socialising but the amount of dogs we meet on walks who are wanting a scrap is sad really and generally the owners are flapping around making there dogs worse. All the more reason to wander of the beaten track in my eyes atb

My thinking is, the more nervous and insecure a person is, the more nervous, insecure and aggressive the dog is. Nervous, insecure and aggressive, see it all the time in people and dogs, especially at shows, one of the reasons I stopped attending shows.

And too many naive/ignorant people breeding dogs with piss poor temperaments for money, just because they're fashionable! Look at most of these toy/lap dog types as an example, almost every single one of them that I've seen, my mrs mini shnauzer included, are nervy, yappy, insecure, nervy/aggressive little c**ts, a bit like my mrs lol.

 

Not just toy/lap dogs either. GSD'S another example, I remember the first one I seen in 1970, superb looking bitch with a superb temperament, and the one that enthused and prompted me to buy one when I was old enough, and could afford to buy one after I'd left my parent's home. And the bitch I bought was the same, a lovey dog and a pleasure to train and own.

Nowadays, and for the last maybe 20 years, the majority of shepherds that I see are definitely of a different type, physically and mentally, with the majority of them being nervy 'fear biters'.

See it a lot with other breeds, even some staffs, one of my favourite breeds.

Just using these as an example, as they are still very popular. I know there are also other breeds out there that have suffered as a result of popularity.

I haven't seen that many aggressive lurchers though, most being pretty laid back.

 

Anyway, that's my take on aggressive dogs lol

American bulldogs are prime example of your post shaark,

First one I had brilliant dog , smaller bullier type .one wife had not bad but not as good as first ,now they look like smaller great danes with staff head and I wouldn't trust one as far as I could throw it.

I know what you're saying, but if you own an aggressive dog and get it on a lead when people/dogs approach, there's nothing more annoying than some soppy tit letting their dog walk up to you anyway and telling you that their dog is ok....especially when you are blatantly putting yours on because it attacks other dogs!

true rob your right, i suppose i do loose my dogs of there leads , because there soft temps with people and dogs, Bryn just ignores them ,and Buck just wants to play with them. But your right really my wife said the same as you, most are put off with Buck size so are frightened of him , even though he goes up to them wagging his tail, he likes dogs to chase him being honest once the people see he daft they relax , its just the 1s few mins thats the prob, but i prob hold back a bit on the lead and let them see he just big daft thing at 1st .

My Saluki dog 5 years old soft as f**k with people but he wont tolerate any dog be it a dog. bitch or pup invading his personal space he will draw blood . When in the van with other dogs they have to be caged for their own protection his size means if he is caged the cage fills the van. He is a dominant dog yet once out on the land he doesnt pay any attention to other working dogs unless they try to take his catches then its a dangerous place to be.

Not my idea of a well educated working dog. . . It would have to be the best dog I had ever owned and I would never breed from that sort of characteristic. . . Its shame when you have a world beater,but its still got traits you would not want in future breeding.

your right there vin mine is the same. He has some superb assets hunting wise that would be good to carry on but he also has some that you wouldn't want too. They may well be down to my lack of training skills which I put me hand up to. But they may not be as well lol. Great shame because he a has nose, drive and brains in abundance

Aggression is the only thing that's simply not acceptable in any working Lurcher in my humble opinion.
