Lmao, they say Ontario canada is the most unfriendly place for your pet. I laugh cause they dont really enforce the laws down here to well, in fact they should really work on enforcing them more . And to tell you the truth, The only reason you would have your animal taken away here is if you had a realllly big situation and even then most of the time you would probobly be able to keep your dog.

Honestly if you are a responsable owner you have nothing to fear, If you plan on going somewhere and automaticly assume your dog is going to be confiscated, maybe you should reconsider your ownership as you are not fit to have a dog

I followed your link and read this story....sounds like the Officer over reacted.
11 year Bull terrier? Sounds fishy

I can't open any of the stories without it asking me to save it in my computer.

Just goes to show that it's not a "breed" thing at all

 

[bubbatd]

Definitely breeders or owners !

Or in the case of the Aussie attacking police officers, a dog doing exactly what it's supposed to do--defend it's home. Except this time the intruders were wearing a badge.

How is it fishy? When I get out of the police academy and a dog is charging me, I will not hesitate to shoot him in the head! self defence! What do you expect when a dog is charging someone?

Yeah, but what breed causes the most FATALITIES? Of course there are going to be cases of dog attacks from many breeds, but the problem is when a dog kills someone. Wolf hybrids top the list with the pit and rottie fallowing.

evidence please

lol ok saje, here it is... http://www.dogexpert.com/FatalDogAttacks/dogbreeds.pdf I should use pit bull type, instead of "pit bull". Pit bull types include any pit bull mix, and mastiffs that are mistaken for a pit bull. Studies have shown that pit bull types are at the top of the list, but you have to take into consideration that the findings can be skewed, but none the less they still account for the most deaths. Rotties come in second. The reason why I am bringing up that pit bull types and rotties are a at the top of the list is because people seem to be trying to get the spot light off of these two breeds/types. People need to be aware and learn the truth about the fatalities, otherwise, this problem will not go away. People need to become educated on dog fatalities and how to prevent them. posts should be made about how to prevent an attack intead of trying to get the attention off pits, and I admit pit attacks are biased.

Lesson the first if you think a dog attack is headed your way: Do not turn your back, do not start screaming and do not start running. Sudden movements are also bad. This will only heighten the already geared-up prey drive.

Zoom...am I right... I read once that if you are attacked to shove whatever they have hold of towards them and not pull away.. then try to poke them in the eye ??

 

[pitbulliest]

key word everyone "anything mistaken as a pitbull"..which is the case about 70 - 90 % of the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here in Canada...pitbulls account for less than 5% of dog bites..with GSD topping the list..why aren't GSDs banned? Not that they should be..but honestly folks..take a hint here....the media is blinding everyone dry!

True, Grammy . . . and dogs have only marginally more respect for most who are totin' a badge than I do

Ontario did try to ban GSDs but the RCMP and Police services use them so fought tooth and nail to keep it from happening.If they ever do get banned I will move.Cocker Spaniels are higher on the bite list than GSDs are,even Goldens are on it.If people left the breeding to responsible breeders instead of saying I have a bitch you have a stud lets make puppies.These breeds would be better off than they are but people just dont think before breeding fefe to the dog down the street.

Where did you get that stat from? Just curious.

Did you respect the lawyers you worked for?
They are far more corrupt than the bottom of the pole officers that risk their lives to keep the shitheads in line. This is not all about government this is about everyday men and women that go into dangerous situations for a less than adequate pay. They go and do the dangerous things most people would run from.

Lots of negativity toward officers until someone needs them. Then people act like they are their best friend. Have seen it many times.

Again, I will say, I just hope my husband gets to come home to his family this night and everynight.

God Bless the patrol man/woman and their working dogs.

The first part usually works for me even when I'm trying to get a dog who is playing too rough to let go of my hand/arm/Kong. Pulling away will only increase the danger done to whatever body part they have ahold of. Granted, the violent prey drive isn't in gear, but if they don't get it from the first couple of movements, then I'll take my other hand and push on the back of their head while pushing my arm further into their mouth and hold it a second past what they want to let go. Then I'll release them and give all sorts of petting and praising for letting go, and they'll wag their tail and go scamper off.

The second part...some dogs maybe, but it didn't even phase that Bullmastiff, and I really, really needed it to.
