No- but we take the unsafe ones off the road.
Attacked by toy poodle- couple of stitches, at worst.
Attacked by pit bull...
toy poodle gets put down and not banned.
pit bull attacks and gets put down and banned.. I can see what your trying to say the damage a pittie can do compared to a ankle biter far out ways it but it's still the dog not the breed.
More people die from car crashes each year then every breed of dog put together do we ban cars?
Actually there was a fatality attributed to a toy poodle either last year or the year before, toy poodle killed an infant over in the US somewhere. I can't remember all the details though.
I don't actually have a problem with aggressive dogs, all dogs can have their problems. I have a problem with BADLY MANAGED dogs. For example, one of my boys has huge fear aggression issues. Not something to be taken lightly with any dog, but he's 40+kg, so that goes double for him.
In all other respects he's a fantastic dog, well behaved and extremely tolerant. My partner's son accidentally hit him over the head with a cricket bat hard enough to make him bleed (and it was an accident, I saw it happen) and all he did was yelp and lick him on the knee. He plays so gently with my ferrets, and yet will lose his **** if he sees another dog or person while out walking.
I have established that he will NEVER be off lead in a public place, and I work with him in that respect. He is getting better, but I refuse to muzzle him in public because it just makes him nervous, and that doesn't help the situation at all. And, if everyone else is doing what they're supposed to do, he won't need muzzling.
I cannot stand it though, when I walk through the park with him and without fail, some idiot will have their (usually small, white, fluffy and aggressive/dominant) dog off lead and out of control. Said dog with a death wish comes charging straight at us, with it's owner yelling "it's okay, he's friendly", from 50 metres behind it because they can't control their fluffbag, when the dog is a) not under control and b) clearly NOT FRIENDLY! Because regardless of whether my dog is on lead right next to me, if the little ****bag gets in his face and ends up losing a head, it's my fault, because he's a big dog. I'm so over people not being able to control their dogs!!! These days I've taken to yelling "That's great! Mine's NOT!" I know it's probably not the best way to handle it, but you'd be amazed how much quicker they move! And bloody kids and their bloody parents!!! NO, it's not okay to go pat the doggy without asking first unless you think your little precious was born with too many hands!!!
Sorry, slightly off topic rant over now.

I agree whole heartedly. when I was breeding hunting dogs, I had a 2 year waiting list on my Pups. They were only sold/given to select hunters never to the general public(why? because they were "working" dogs) I did bend the rule once and sold to a Lady on a property as the pup "chose" her she was quite mature in age however had experience in handling large dogs etc this dog became her protector and best friend they were inseparable 2 years ago I was in the situation of not being able to keep my 2 little foxies(had to go nurse my ill Father) I was devastated.... I did the only thing I could, personally find new home for one and the other was 14 years old and the vet advised due to arthritis and a few other complications to put her to sleep(I was with her till the end) it was sooo hard, but they were MY responsibility. I hate this "throw away" mentality so many people have, I think is way past time for them to have to be held accountable for their actions even when it gets down to "untrained/unsupervised" animals again it's not necessarily the breed as a whole, but people who are to blame.....Disintergratus;-Most people who do things like that either don't realise or don't want to face the reality that they're giving their dog a death sentence. I know that sometimes people genuinely have to give up their dog, but most of the time that's not the case. They just can't be bothered and see them as disposable. It really sickens me.
