Cats just cannot be trusted. They are like footballers - if they get a better deal elsewhere they will **** off. No loyalty at all them devious ****s.
Just because you have a staff and it wouldn't hurt anybody, it doesn't mean you can throw a blanket over the entire breed. The dog is evidently dangerous and needs to be destroyed. I'm not saying the entire breed does, but that one does for sure, the owner, no matter how stupid he/she is, didn't force the dog to bite all them kids.
a vicious attack indeed. that's why i like em so much. they couldn't give a ****. i've had to deal with my own cat when he's a whirring ball of furr and teeth, scared out of his mind. not easy and i got my share of lacerations. cat's are typically scared of humans and although they will show affection it's never to people they don't know or trust. in my previous life as a postie i've been attacked by both cat and dog. cat's are worse. too small and fast to kick. dogs are stupid and run straight into your boot.
Maybe not, but most dogs are usually a product of the way they've been trained, treat, raised, not necessarily the breed of dog. More people are bitten in the UK each year by Labs. The dog will be destroyed regardless.
Do you have any facts to back that up? I'm not disputing it, but given the popularity of the breed, I'm struggling with that. I'm definitely in agreement with the first part, most dogs are a true reflection on their owners... there's no two ways about it, if you train your dog to be territorial it will eventually bite something/somebody.
I've heard that about labs, it's because they're the most popular breed that they cause the greatest volume of injuries, just due to how many of them there are.
Phillip Gower, of solicitors Simpson Millar, which commissioned the 2,044-person study, said: “In 20 years working on dog attack cases I haven’t spotted a trend in the breed of dog that attacks. It’s usually down to the owner.” I've just taken the above quote off the net. It's obviously not a scientific statement. The same story said Jack Russell's were the worst offenders in 2015. In Liverpool. The above quote relates to a wider study I think.
It was something my son in law told me mate, he's a copper. The problem with Staffies and the like is that when they bite, they don't just nip, it's full on and very powerful jaws as well, they bite and hold and then when the dog feels it has control they start to shake and tear.
Yeah, they 'lock on'... I'd rather be bitten by a labrador if it's a choice like! I carry a Gerber flick with me, when walking the dog in the woods, I've never had to use it but I'm convinced some homeless eastern europeans live in the woods, so it's best to be safe than sorry! It'll come in handy if I ever encounter a vicious dog as well, I'll throw it and hopefully the dog will think it's a sausage and I can make a quick get away
I carry a taser and pepper spray, never had to use them like but there's some right ****ing weirdos out there. My dog has been attacked a couple of times and there's no way i'm putting myself between a staff and a rottwieller, hence the pepper spray. I once got caught out by some chav walking a rottwieller and when he saw me the **** deliberately let his dog off the lead which made a beeline for my dog. I just let him off and let him fend for himself and he managed to pin the rotty down to the surprise of the now screaming chav. And the cheeky **** said he was going to report me. As i said, some right ****ing weirdos.
I've seen it all before mate, ****ers who buy dogs to look hard. I can't stand them sort of people and it makes me feel sorry for the dogs, instead of having a fun life, they're just constantly on edge looking to growl at, bark at or attack anything that comes near them. Dogs are meant to be 'man's best friend' not man's ****ing bodyguard.
Staffy! They get such a bad name but it's their owners that are the problems. My Uncle has a staffy who, had it not been on a lead, would've bitten a number of people approaching it because my uncle is a bit of a dick and has caused the dog to be vicious. But they are lovely and loving dogs. We were away a couple of years ago and my daughter (3 at the time) was sitting playing in the caravan park and this big muscly staffy comes over and sits next to her. Drops its ball and wags tail! she throws it returns and she gets up and gives it a massive cuddle. Lovely and soft as muck! There are a lot of them like this but these are never reported on - only the ones that savage people are reported on and, therefore, they get a bad name!
My old dog had a run in with an american pitbull in the local park. Pitbull was off the lead and came over to sniff Earl's bitch. I called out to the dude to stick the lead on but he didn't listen. Big mistake, the bellend. it almost led to an full on fight between owners, as he kicked wor Earl to try and get him off his mutt. Stupid thing to do when earl had his jaws round the dumb mutts head and pinned to the deck. Fortunately the Mrs was there to stop me from doing no more than shoving the prick over. he then starts howling and calls the cops, who stop us as we're leaving the park. Fortunately it ended well, as they could see there was no malice in Earl, sending bellend to the vets to get his mutts heed stitched back together. The moral of the story......most dogs are friends, and friends look out for each other. Just don't let a squirrel get in the way...
I read a report a while back from Royal Mail that claimed that according to their internal statistics the Breed that bit their Staff most, WAS YORKSHIRE TERRIERS. While Royal Mail took this seriously, I suspect that most of us might have smiled. However savage, most Yorkies are not going to do too much damage. Most have such bad teeth by the time they are about six that a severe gumming is about the worst you can expect. However if the same number of Rotties had attacked postmen, that would have been a serious problem. My point is that it's not the breed that poses a problem so much as what that breed was established to do and probably can still do. If a breed has the wherewithal to create harm, then it only takes a wrong owner for harm to follow. Taking the Staffie as an example they are, in general fantastically loyal to their owners (family) and can be excessively protective. So BEFORE coming out with any sort of condemnation I would like to know what exactly happened in this case.
