Dog Attack This Morning

[Abigail]

Strangely enough not a party pie, sausage roll or cake was stolen from a child's hand for the entire party

Admittedly a few fingers were cleaned however

And the beast sat faster than some of the children when the music stopped.

I guess it isn't just a case of the dogs being well behaved but also of the children involved

Good for you for instilling good manners on those cute kids

I'm with SBT123 and the others who want to know the breed. I own two bully breeds and it doesn't make me get defensive it makes me aware of truly how many incompetent owners are out there.

Can the breed be disclosed or would the poster prefer not to?

I'm happy to disclose the breed.

I am just fully aware that on DOL when you label the breed in a dog attack the BSL fans jump up and down saying ner ner ner

and now I know that if you don't label the breed you are told off because you are not disclosing the full story.

The attacking dog was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Bitch, the dog that was attacked was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Dog.

I can see why you were guarded in disclosing the breed. Good for you for disclosing it !

Not surprised at the outcome. Poor Cavalier! I would have loved to have had a stick in tow and hit that mongrel between the eyes! How many more dogs have to be victimised at the jaws of these animals before certain low lifes learn to take responsibility; I guess there will always be tossers out there who have their heads buried in the sand; shame for the owners that do have common sense. It seems like a never ending spiral because of a few arseholes.

You did disclose the full story.

Now your a victim of peer group pressure. You didn't find it necessary tin the OP?

Disclosing the owners incompetence should be the focal point, as the behavior is the result of the owner.

I'm just disappointed in yet another piss poor owner, that can't confine their dog.

Since when has it been a crime to talk about the breed of dog ?

[jackie_a1]

Thanks for disclosing T.

I would never get defensive on this forum if someone posted up a dog attack story and disclosed the breed. I don't think it's breed bashing at all. I think it's posting something you witnessed first hand and disclosing all the relevant information.

Good for you Chewbacca. If there were more parents like you around perhaps there would not be as many kids being bitten by the family dog. God knows I have had to be in the know of 3 dogs belonging to a family (at different times) and all being shot because they 'supposedly' became aggressive at the kids; personally knowing what those kids are like is no surprise that the dogs decided that enough was enough. I know those dogs started off being absolutely terrific; one could pat them and their tail would be wagging slowly (not the breed that wags its tail at incredible speeds); so sad that their ending came with a barrel pointed between their eyes.

[tianakaesha]

jackie - it is posts like Abigails that make me cautious. *sigh*

[grumpette]

Thank you Abigail

I try very hard to ensure that my dogs are great members of society and a pleasure to be around for all people/animals. Obedience three times a week, walks, tracking and now herding. All activities that are suited to their individual personalities.

I think the reason that people are so concerned about the haphazard naming of breeds involved in attacks is the fact that a lot of mis-identification occurs and certain breeds are unfairly accused. This then increases the negative perception that the general public has about the breeds and consequently the appeal of these dogs to irresponsible “bogan” owners. So it becomes a never ending vicious circle that is self perpetuating.

I do not think that it is due to the owners of certain breeds being in denial about the capabilities of their breed. All responsible owners know full well what their dogs are capable of and the consequences of their dogs’ actions and they ensure that this situation never arises via proper socialisation, training, containment and stimulation.

It is the actions, or more importantly the inactions, of a few that ruin all the good work that the majority do and unfortunately the media and public do not want to hear about the good things achieved by responsible owners of certain breeds.

Chewbacca, I have owned staffies before, two of them and both were unbelievably affectionate pets towards both my hubby and I. God only knows I can still see my male staffy whinging when I was applying my lipstick shortly before going out, he just knew and showed his sadness each and every time. Purebred english staffies are great little family members but they are DA (before people start jumping up and down I do concede that not all are DA, there is always the exception to every rule). The DA bit is the only thing I dislike about the breed and the potential for damage, which as far as I am concerned, exceeds any other breed.

I am sure you were cautious long before I came to the fore, tianakaesha What you have to remember is that

if there is an attitute towards certain breeds it is only because there is an attitude to be had in the first place whatever the reason, whether due to incompetent owners or due to the breed. The sooner people accept the fact that certain breeds of dogs are more prone to being DA the sooner the problem will be resolved but unfortunately to be biased is deeply ingrained in so many people that this will never be.

Our dogs were raised as part of the family and as indoor dogs. They were heavily socialised, went to puppy school and continued to be trained long after they outgrew their puppyhood and I must also add they were not of poor breeding either. As I have said countless times before, there is always the exception and I guess yours are it.
