Rocky wasn't incarcerated because of the dog attack. Rocky pleaded guilty to aggravated burlary & steal for rescuing his dog. The gaol time was imposed because he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the dog. Then, miraculously, an anon tip sent authorities to a place where they took an Akita into custody. It was only an alert veterinarian that reconised the ''new'' Akita wasn't the Akita in question. A different vet & the wrong dog is nuked, Rocky is home free, & so is his dog. Very ordinay Rocky, very ordinary indeed.

a little off topic, but how about. For sail, 4 birth dog trailor.

The owner was present Dougie. Your constant assertion that such a dog could NOT be an SBT is the kind of head in the sand ignorance that has seen some pretty unlikely breeds climb into the bite statistics AND that plays right into the hands of the BSL proponents. ANY dog, given the right genetics, envrionment and trigger can represent a threat to people. Acknowledge that and we'll all be a lot safer. I do say ''pure breed SBT'' KC registered? Although even that isn't a given in the UK anymore. However, The owner took off . To avoid scrutiny perhaps? Why was ''the owner'' at the school? I would have thought to pick up her kid? That's logical? yes? If that is the case, surely someone would know her? So how did she just come to walk/run away without any repercussions. On the contrary, it is not ''head in the sand' having the temerity to ask for some confirmation of breed, it sensible. The reason breeds will be added to ''the list'' is because gullible people, like you, who aren't in the firing & like to act like they know everything, who take as gospel, anything they are told by people with an agenda of duplicity & concealment.. The bottom line is. Show me the dog, if its a Stafford I will ID it as such, no problem. We don't wont those poor examples destroyng our breeds hard won reputation. Just as we don't want xbreeds & pitties doing it either So, in the mean time, it isn't. There is post above by a female stating she pulled a SBT out of dog fight without much effort, yet there is grown male in this story saying he could barely manage it. SBT? Show me the money. BTW, to those obviously somewhat befuddled sniper type persons. I have stated previously every SBT owner who knows what they are talking about will admit SBTs can be dog aggressive. Those who would be surprised at this have no idea of the breed. Begone, you are merely nuisances.

Just as an exercise I googled the newspaper web page as Rnb obviously does.. Searched dog attacks as RnB obviously does The list of dogs named involved in recent ''incidents'' included: Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rottwiellers x2 Husky type Bull mastiff Alaskan Malamute Akita No pitbulls of course, they are a banned breed you see so there aren't any. Probably a coincidence rottnbullies just happen to chose the SBT out of that lot. Out of curiousity I also googled Scotlands dog laws. They are moving to a deed not breed scenario which will make owners liable for the actions of their dogs & open to prosecution. They have stopped short of repealing the BSL however, so the SBT will still carry the can for every incident involving a dog with muscles. Interesting quote from one of proponents of the enlightened legislation. ''The Bill does stop short of a complete repeal of BSL. BSL has not prevented dog attacks, nor has it eradicated the Pit Bull in the UK despite having devastating consequences for some breed-types.'' Aint it the truth.

Speaking of Amstaffs, I had to have a creep online of your guys, your beautiful girl Paris (RIP), was a smokin' dog. Love that head. I noticed she's from Rebbull Kennels, they actually had one of my male's half sisters. No wonder I was drawn to her :D Thanks Rep628, Paris was a lovely bitch, and we were terribly sad to loose her. Our next one is coming from Rebbull too, so we hope she is just as nice if not better. Did Tracey have the baby yet. i haven't seen them for a while. It was a while ago so I assume she must have. Craig & Tracey, amongst others, were in the rafted gazebos discussusing the Chivers fiasco I made mention of earlier. Craig was quite annoy at the stupidity of the evidence that put his breed right in the firing line. Pissed off would be more an accurate description. He didn't hold back. But no more so than the rest of us when you get right down to it. And for the same reasons.

The forensic evidence is playing your song. ''It's a staffordshire Bull Terrier'' Isnt that the ring tone on your phone isn't it just incase you forget one day & actually aim up. Yeah, I know Fat chance.

Agree. I don't have a problem with that. It is misidentification & misrepresentation of the breed when ever there is an ''incident'' that I have the problem with. Live & let live. Just don't put your garbage in my bin. Is that too much to ask? I think you best put your bin out for collection as its full to the brim with garbage and spewing over the top. :D Damn right. You put it there. Easy to recognise. It all generic. Nothing original.

Use human nail clippers. As advised, just take the ends off.

the violin music hasn't changed my opinion. Roccos a naughty boy. A very naughty boy. Go to gaol Rocco. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200

Agree. I don't have a problem with that. It is misidentification & misrepresentation of the breed when ever there is an ''incident'' that I have the problem with. Live & let live. Just don't put your garbage in my bin. Is that too much to ask?

What if..............they were bogans What if............. it had always been their dog? What if..............it was a restricted breed & they were trying save their sorry asses? Plenty of ''what ifs'' that fit án often played out scenario. What if... you read the news article Dougie. That's all any of us have to go on. ??? However, I have read the article & more than once. None of it suggests a SBT. Did you miss this bit? I missed the photo which corroborated the iD. I even missed the bona fides of the person who made the ID. Was it the owner? Do you have a link? ''There will be no carbon tax under a goverment I lead'' The cheques in the mail The brickies will be there monday. It was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier

What if..............they were bogans What if............. it had always been their dog? What if..............it was a restricted breed & they were trying save their sorry asses? Plenty of ''what ifs'' that fit án often played out scenario. We cant blame all dog attacks on bogans and restricted breeds. Dogs are dogs and by nature and prior treatment they can and do attack occasionnly, disasters happen, the poor victim doesnt care about what ifs..... Wiseguy you have made it blatently clear your hatred of Pit Bulls and their ilk, maybe time to get off that particular bandwagon as there are many people who do like pit Bulls and find your relentless attacks on them insulting :D Thank you. I agree. It's a little egotistical to believe someone posted this thread just to get at you. And downright low to go and bring Pitbull's into it to try to save your breed. I don't need to save my breed, I (we) need to protect it before it needs saving. Prevention is better than cure. I haven't said this dog was a pitbull. I don't hate pitbulls. Although some of their owners are a bit sus. I don't hate any dogs, dogs are my passion. If have you have been reading the BSL thread you would be naive to think this thread wasn't raised specifically to bring some discredit to the SBT. If that sounds pathetic it is because it is pathetic. Pathetic but true. The OP hates pure breeds. Especially registered pure breeds. Specifically Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Registered recognised pure breed envy. Sad but true.

What if..............they were bogans What if............. it had always been their dog? What if..............it was a restricted breed & they were trying save their sorry asses? Plenty of ''what ifs'' that fit án often played out scenario. What if... you read the news article Dougie. That's all any of us have to go on. ??? However, I have read the article & more than once. None of it suggests a SBT. The more I read it the more I am convinced there aren't any more ''what ifs'' that need to be asked. My ''What ifs'' do have substantial credibility based solely on the article. Possibly even the truth as a matter of fact.. As I am sure you might come to agree if you just apply a some objectivity. I have mature male SBTs that occasionally have a falling out. I can hold each at arms length, not without some trouble I will admit & I am neither young nor exceptionally strong anymore. One would be no problem at all, especially if he were on a leash with the extra leverage that would provide. Staffordshire Bull Terrier? Insufficent evidence. Case dismissed.

I don't even read them anymore geo. They are stupid. The last one was so short even you couldn't bugger it up.
