Dachshunds Under Threat as Germany Proposes Ban on Breeding
Tempus Fugit replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
They were originally meant to be hunting terriers. Their shape allowed them to easily get into a den or burrow to attack the fox or rabbit -
Before you do, study how working police & protection sport dogs are trained to bite.

So how rust resistant is it in salt water?

American XL Bully Dogs to be Banned in the UK After Recent Attacks
Tempus Fugit replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
Its worrisome what is happening to the malinois breed. There seems to be an increase in facebook posts by breeding kennels emphasising their dog's attacking capability given they are marketing to security, military & police. I fear it is only a matter of time before there is a 'leakage' of aggresive dogs to the general public, just as there has been with 'game-bred' APBTs. -

Rotties are already a restricted breed in Ireland and a category 2 restricted breed in France. At least they're not banned totally. -

Had a bit of a giggle at the proposal to ban 5 particular breeds. Pitbull owners have long described their pets as American Staffordshires and I can think of heaps of mastiff breeds that are just as potentially dangerous as the other four breeds proposed to be banned. I guess they simply mimic the donkeys who drafted the relevant clause in the Commonwealth Customs Act.
