You could also argue that . if a owner knew his dogs had to be locked away from public , all fences should be high and any gates should be locked to stop entry regardless a toddler who just wants to pat the doggies , or an adult delivering a parcel . I have owned LOTS of dogs over the years but will say i've only had one i did'nt trust with strangers , funny enough all my familly and freinds said i was being silly he was freindly with everyone . BUT from an early age i noticed he could be geed up and fire up very quickly , so NO ONE was allowed to play fight with him , i had done it when he was young , and seen him change very quickly , so perhaps no one else seen what i thought he was capable off , kids were allowed to pat him , but NEVER gee him up , and they did'nt because i ALWAYS kept a very close eye when kids were there , anyway , , because i knew him and too be honest would never trust him not to go a stranger if they came in unounced , i simply raised the fences so he could'nt jump out , and kept the side gate , PADLOCKED , . Yet that dog never ever showed aggresion to any one , everyone thought he was a lovely playful thing , UNTIL i actually seen with my own eyes , some guy coming over the back fence ,i lived in a double story and was on the back balcony it was around midnight i was sat in the dark and spotted this guy come over the fence has he was walking up to the house , the dog without a bark any warning whatsoever , attacked him , i called the dog off he came back the guy run , jumped back over and disapeared , but he was bleeding heavlly . Point being i always suspected he was capable of this , dispite being freindly to everyone else , and thats why i always PADLOCKED THE GATE i never wanted the chance of someone coming in by mistake , if the owner knew they were capable of biting , a fence a child can open, is / was not good enough , a todller was'nt doing wrong he just wanted to pat the doggies . I would also go has far has to say if a owner is not going to do this them dogs should not be there , its irrisponsible to say , all dogs can bite , all bites can be fatal , and especielly if you know your dog is capable of this . NOT TO KEEP IT UNDER LOCK AND KEY , thats why this one of mine was ALWAYS UNDER LOCK AND KEY OUTSIDE IN HIS YARD OR RUN rest of the time he was always freindly when with myself or the familly , just a normal freindly dog with no aggressive trends whatsoever , , i only suspected , this owner obviously knew My dog by the way was a Rotty

Been watching that show Muster dogs , i really enjoy watching it , now the current one is border collies ,, v kelpies , which is the bst , without getting too the end i suspect its gonna be a draw , general consencus is there both great at there jobs if trained and bred correctly . Now a question for any of you out there who live on farms have had anything to do with farm dogs , where does the heeler stand in this equation . Not long ago i seen a u tube show with an american woman who had border collies and kelpies , but she claimed her blue heeler was the best by far . Thoughts from the farmers or the experienced in this department . . .

Not good is it , my opinion its all about money , Think i've told the story before on here , but the dog i presently own , i bought from there 8 years ago , Now in them days you could walk in have a walk around and pick a dog , So i actually went in one day walked around and seen a bull mastiff i liked , I went home next day , casually said to the wife , lets go to the dogs home , where i was casually going to walk around be suprised to see a bull mastiff in there , take a shine to it and take it home , Not wanting to be too obvious because she did'nt really want a dog , i walked the long way around the kennels , then i seen this little white fluffy thing with a cone on his neck , stopped to pat him , and he picked me out , i asked about him and they said theres a hold on him but the next day if he is not took a could have hime , i immedietly went in put a second hold on him price was $350 , next day never heard , day after i rang up to see if he had gone , , i was informed the person did'nt want him , so come and get him , i went there straight away , wife was overjoyed and so was I , . done all the paper work got out my $350 and was informed no he's $450 , i asked why the increase , and was told we can sell little cute dogs like him all day so he's dearer than all the others , i just paid it Now jump forward a couple months , and i was on the river , in my boat 300 klm from home , i'm playing with him on the bank , and heres a woman shout is that Oliver , i look up says yes , she says did you get him from the pound i said yes , , and he's mine now , no way was i giving him up , she comes over and pats him , says what a cutie he was , and tells me the story about her daughters freind worked there , knew she wanted a little dog like that , and had shown her a picture , and offered her the dog for , $600 , TIME TO PAY UP SHE DECIDED SHE COULD'NT AFORD HIM and hence why i got him , so much for dogs welfare , the staff were selling him and making money , but hows that ,300 klm from my home and the shelter , in a little country town . , Also remember about 35 years ago same place , i rang every single day looking for Zac my boxer who had got out jumped the fence , each day i was told sorry no boxers have been in here for months , don't know what made me do it , just intuition but i drove around there affter about 5-6 days , was walking through looking in the kennels , and i seen him there ,the kennel had a hold sign on him , he was due to be sold the next day the 7 days or so was up , and guess who was taking him , the staff member who answered the phones , i carried on like a pork chop so much they just returned him free of charge , i had the prove he was mine , (tattood ) Zac was a absolute perfect specemin off a boxer , i was convinced he would off been in the paper and sold privatly soon after if i had not of gone there.

Had a few dealings with the RSPCA and everyone of them unpleasant , have purchased over the last 40 or so years 4 dogs off them including the present one , but now i would never go near the place again , the one close to my home has far has i'm concerned is nothing more than a boarding kennels , run with cheap labor (volunteers ) and houses a few strays to qualify for the govt money ,

Whats the name of the breeder what dogs , do they breed , sounds like a good breeder to me , sounds like this dog may be a very gentle dog , and perhaps your house is too loud and robust for the dog , and it gets scared , breeder is doing right by the dog , WHY would a good breeder want to send his/her pups into a scary enviroment , regardles off why its scared

Think you could add too that , Rottweilers , german shepards , all mastiff type dogs , and while were at it never met a chiwawa that was'nt a nasty viscous little brute , remember when i was a kid , neighbor had a corgi that used to chase all us kids up the street biting our ankles , so throw them in has well

Strange , raise your voice in my house our little dog takes himself outside , drop a cup any sudden loud noise , and he's off , he's a very quiet dog who loves calm , yet i love to sit outside on the balcony every time theres a storm , and being by the sea we have lots of them each year , , he just comes and lies on my lap watching the lighting listening to the thunder , and he'll just nod off absolutly does'nt faze him one bit

Whats littermate syndrome , what i have read is two pups , two owners , same houshold , dogs get on well and play , dogs have each bonded with there own owners , just like you would hope , whats the problem at the moment , i can see two future problems maybee , but maybee not only time will tell . problem 1 ---- males they may fight when older problem 2---- if houshold splits up , one misses the other . Other than that whats the problem

Personaly , reading botrh sides here , i think i would say no way she getting the dog back , its not going to live a good life , lady thinks she bought a toy , probably after recieving nasty messages , i would say no way she's getting her full amount either , i'd probably advertize good home wanted , sell her to someone for whatever i could get and thats all i would refund , i would state the dog was older people were not willing to pay the same has they will a pup . Then i would recieve more messages and think , get a grip of yourself , this woman sounds like a neurotic nutcase letter writer on a mission , and just give her a refund tell her to go away and witch hunt someone else , because she said herself she's on disability with major depresion , the lady sounds bored and causing problems is her outlet , Naaw give the nutter her money back tell all the other breeders you know to be wary , the vet said the dog was fine , its a chiwa wa if it had not eaten for a couple weeks it would be dead , it obviously ate a bit of something , just not enough for her , Give the money back , and hope you get rid of the problem , although i sence until she finds someone else to harrass its not going away ,

Unfortunatly your never going to stop it , , i own a small dog thats timid , and watch him like a hawk always on the leash when theres other dogs on the dog beach , and i'm constantly shouting get your dog mate , when he's approached which is all the time ,, But prior to him i owned a massive and i mean MASSIVE rotty , that was quite freindly with well mannered dogs , but very unfreindly with ill mannered dogs he would not tolerate them , because of this he was ALWAYS on leash unless dog beach was empty . . With the little one , people don't care they let there aggressive dog run up and intimidate mine , yet with the rotty they always seemed to control theres and put them on leash to stop them coming up , over the years did have a few who did'nt , but i would just shout get your dog mate or i'll let him go , that usually fixed it , sad but true , people just don't care

i can tell you the best ever dog , loyal and easy to train , Springer Spaniel ,,,, Boxers ,,, English staffy ,,,, german shepard , rottweilers ,,, blue heeler little mongrel cross shitzu , maybee maltese with a definet bit of westy in there . Each and every one of them has been loyal easy to train and well behaved , there dogs and they mould to your personality

Instead of shooing it ,, call it over with a buiscuit , when it gets used to you , pick it up , put it in the car , take it to the council offices , tie it to a post outside with a note on its neck , FREE to good home

Hard one is'nt it , If i was an aboriginal living in the bush trying to kep the traditions and ways of my forefathers , along with the dream time and all the other stuff , Think then i would hate to see the dingo , shot , culled , got rid of in any way shape or form But if i was a farmer , with 10 000 head of sheep and my whole familly's future and livelihood tied up in it , and was reguly losing sheep to dingos i think i'd want them , shot caught moved areas , whatever has long has they stopped killing my sheep . Suppose if i was in my 4 wheel drive going out where the dingos lived , i would'nt be stupid enough to allow my pet or child wonder off So the top two have both got a point the 3rd one is just an idiot who should have no say . But the fourth one , groups who recieve govt money from which the farmer's tax pays for , should just keep there nose out

Did these people have to study at uni long to be able to state the obvious

Did'nt read it , They could of saved heaps of money and just asked what i' and millions of other older dog lovers already knew , Labs are greedy buggers who will eat till they gorge , I can also tell them for nothing . so will my little bitza dog , and feed him the recomended amount once a day say night time , next morning he's looking for food and throwing up white bile , , so he has to have 2 meals a day to stop that , lately because were home more in the colder weather its split into 3 meals , 6am 100 grams ----12-1 pm 100 gms ------ then around 7 pm the last 100 grams , heh presto , no bile , , he's never looking for food anymore , and happy and healthy , There ya go and that info did'nt even have to be funded , ,, can't help but wonder how much it cost for them to state the obvious , labs are a greedy dog I'm basing that on owning a few , plus being brought up with my grandfathers labs , cannot ever remember him not having one , every single one of them called prince has well LOL
