firefly Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I am wondering why this breed is allowed in the country when they are so dangerous !!! Who’s the bright spark that thinks it’s ok ?probably the same one that let pitbulls in. I’m very concerned now there’s 4 breeders out there.

Dogsfevr Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 (edited) Dangerous ?? Please show the references to this breed being so dangerous . So you would want the breeds who do the same/similiar jobs to be banned too . Edited November 19 by Dogsfevr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I can't see banning large guardian dogs. I might get behind requiring a license or some such to keep them in urban or suburban environments. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 The only declared dangerous dog I have seen in my suburb is a Labrador. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a smart move... especially for the larger livestock guardian breeds, as they don't always do well in a suburban family/community environment.

Deeds Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 The Turkish Kangal has a bite force of 743 PSI. The Kangal has the strongest bite in the world. I haven't heard of a Russian Ovcharka killing anyone in Australia. According to Dogz Online Breeders listings there are 4 breeders of Russian Ovcharkas (Caucasian Shepherd). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 (edited) I found an Anatolian Shepherd that had crossed a six lane road and three suburbs. Very self contained dog, seemed long-sighted, not demonstrative at all. Took three of us to get him into the back of my wagon. His Turkish family was very happy to get him back. His name was Kubla.

firefly Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 Neighbors have one has attacked 3 people has the dangerous dog collar on and council wants dog clipped so collar can be seen. Other neighbors are wanting this dog gone even the owner Doesnt trust it. There’s not enough of them here yet to pose a big threat but eventually some will get into the wrong hands. Oh well can’t do much about bad decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeds Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 In my area we have a small cattle dog that has knocked 3 men over and caused a serious head injury. It has. even knocked the owner over. It has attacked about 5 dogs whilst they were leashed on public streets and has caused serious injury to 2 dogs requiring serious surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm not fussed on being chased, menaced, or bitten by ANY dog, large or small. Yes, the larger the dog, the greater the chance of serious injury, but that is no reason to simply ban anything that "might" cause serious injury. Education for owners of all dogs regarding raising socially acceptable canine citizens is key, not what size or breed one should have.

Rascalmyshadow Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Seriously what rubbish, you say how dangerous pitbulls are yet I bet you’ve never met one????? banning breeds is a joke, the owners are the problem not the dogs. in almost 30 years working with dogs the only one dog to ever put me in any serious danger was a golden retriever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other neighbors are wanting this dog gone even the owner Doesnt trust it. Who would want to clip a dangerous dog? If it has been declared a dangerous dog then the breeder will not be allowed to take it back but they still might want to know about it. But first are you sure that is the breed? Looking at the rescue sites there are some wild guesses there. I'm wondering why it is still around if it has attacked three people? Were all the attacks reported? Would you and your neighbours be willing to put their names to a letter to your council? Poor dog obviously in the wrong situation and with the wrong owner. Touch wood I've only had two dog bites that broke the skin. A Silkie Terrier and a second-hand Cattle dog that the rescue place forgot to mention had been declared a dangerous dog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact at a dogshow a Sheltie lunged at me walking past & broke skin Any dog cross ,pure can be an issue with owners who shouldnt own anything more than a garden gnome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
