I'm saying it's both tbh.

People always pride themselves on being in control of their dogs but that's never a guarantee.

Dogs like these kill their owners who feed them and care for them, even breeders have died.



Around 40 postal workers are bitten every week by all kinds of dogs.

My son was a Royal Mail manager and would have to go to the houses involved ...

... the owners would almost always say, 'I can't understand it, they've never bitten anyone before.'

The best trained dog in the world can develop a brain tumour, or whatever, and bite out of frustration.

Again comes down to a responsible owner, have a sticker warning there's a dog either in the window or on the gate they should also put something on inside of letterbox to prevent dog biting letters etc. It really isn't difficult. Ignorance from owners.

people do not understand dogs, people think the dog is ok with them so it will be ok with everyone...wrong.

my first dog was a small cross, i have never seen a more loving dog or one that everyone loved, she was well known around the village and if she was around without me she was welcomed at a couple of houses.

she had been around kids (babies, toddlers and up) and never got 'angry' with them yet even she took off after a lad that ran past she was growling and barking, the lad stopped and she turned back and returned home...the lad knew me and her very well and was more shocked that she had shown this completely different side to her.

now, had she been a rotty or bully etc it could have been a much worse story but it taught me that you can NEVER be sure, they need to be trained and they need to be shown respect.

That can be the thing . It’s fine in the house, it’s own territory, and loving to the family members , it’s pack —- but outside can consider everyone an enemy of it’s family/pack

Yep, that’s what it boils down to…
