this is were the DDA fails us :(

well i was walking steve on friday round the streets and a neighbour from st down stopped me. she told me another fellow dog walker that we know with a whippet had been walking his dog just up from us and a bull breed jumped out grab the whippet and tore his neck open the fact hi had a wide collar on saved his life, it took three ppl to get this dog off the whippet. the dog had over 40 stitches to his neck in the end.

yet nothing has been done the dog hasnt been seized apparently hes no danger according to the dog warden who i also know who saw the dog at home on the sofa.

the police dont know what to do FFS seize the dog Put it to sleep as it is clearly a danger and prosocute *sp* the owners

now i was walking kiera up the same route other day and said dog went for her whilst on lead the owner didn give a shit.

so its ok to seize and destroy happy friendly family dogs but when it comes to ones that are dangerous we leave them be

ive just got in touch with my vet about it as i am genuinly worried if it gets loose again

Thats what its like here too, they had hold of three dogs that should have at least been considered as "suspected type", the copper said one on a DDB and took them all home. Makes me mad, its not safe to walk ours when the weather is good...

im wary taking fred out around here at the weekend paula for the same reason... theres all sorts out with all types, i dont trust them, the owners and their control that is lol....

its norm not bad round here at all thats why im shocked to hell not happy at all

We dont have that problem at all round here luckily. I think Sly is probably the nearest thing there is to a dangerous dog tbh. Its all BCs & JRTs here along with the compulsory gundog types (labs & spaniels)

normally not a issue you see the staffs ect round town but the probs we have is mainly with dam BC owners

but spoke to simon and what i have told him he is investigating it further cant talk too much about it tho

New Killer Dog Added to Dangerous Dogs List


Lock up your children ladies and gents, for a new addition to the
hallowed register of dangerous dogs is announced in the apparently
dog-fearing land down under. The newly added breed was responsible for
12 attacks in July to September of 2009 and has shot its way in to the
top 20 dog attack perpetrators list aka Australia’s Dog Attack
Register. But what is this deadly dog, I hear you cry?
The Maltese terrier might not look like a danger dog, but apparently it is





















The Maltese has appeared on the “top 20 attacking list”
on the Australian register, launched at the start of this year.
“This is obviously a surprising outcome, but nonetheless a
reminder that any dog has the potential to attack, regardless of
breed,” said Minister for Local Government Barbara Perry.
Added to the Maltese, the old favourite, the Labrador Retriever, reportedly involved in 20 attacks from July to September.
The register shows 823 dog attacks reported by councils in the
July-September period, an increase from 774 in the previous quarter.

totally agree they can be nasty bastards met a few in my time

People think they wont as they arent bullbreeds/Rotties/GSD's (you know the rest) so they dont treat them right. They should add all dogs to the DDA and put in measures to take them away from irresponsible owners who think its funny to allow their little rats to charge over at humans/dogs and yap and snap at them....

when i worked at a dog groomers a few years ago it was the small ones that were the worst especially the lhaso apso's and shitty sues... ... i had more cuts bites and bruises of those guys than i did the rotties and gsd's etc... :2431: .... we even banned one of them because it made a mess of me .... :2431:
