Ex Dutch GF had one, walked around free on the farm. I was not allowed to touch her when he was near. That was one scarey dog. But he was nice too after a while he was ok with me petting him.

 

But such a dog can do enormous damage so they should really be kept away from the public. I don't even want to think about what it could have done to me. 

 

I had a Bangkaew dog in Thailand, sweet dog (but they are supposed to be aggressive) Though the only one he ever was aggressive too was me. (if i took his food). But he was 25kg and I am sure i could have been able to overpower him. Not so much with the 50+kg rottweiler not weithout sustaining some serious damage myself.

 

I like dogs even rottweilers but i see the potential damage they can do. 

I'd be aggressive if you took my food!

I don't blame my dog.. should never take a dogs food. But it was the only time he was really aggressive with me. Oh and of course when there were females in the room. Then he positioned himself between me and the female (even girls he did not know) he liked attention too much ????

 

But he was a big softy, growling yes for sure but never further then that. Just trying to intimidate if ignored he would give up.

In the US, Rottweilers are restricted or even banned in some cities with good reason.

Guys who choose a dangerous and unpredictable breed like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls are merely compensating for their micro penis.

Like you said these statistics say nothing because you need to know how many there are of each breed. Plus what you say is true it does not say anything about the nature of the dog. More that the dog is far more capable of doing damage. 

 

Would be more interesting to know how many dog attacks per breed, how many there are of said breed. Then you can judge nature of a dog. Also dog like pitbulls and rottweilers are often used by people who have no idea how to raise them. (I would not try to raise one that is for sure).

 

But the potential for a rottweiler to do damage is huge. My dog when he still lived started growling at a rottweiler that was walking without a leash and owner. I seriously thought my dog wanted to commit suicide.  Thankfully the rottweiler ignored my dog and went on her merry way. 

Indeed. And in the case of the American PitBull Terrier they are often mis-categorized so that dogs such as the Dogo Argentino, Cane Corso or Mastiff attacks someone and it gets labelled by the media as a PitBull attack by some uneducated journo or simply because they know putting that word in the heading gets clicks. Then it ends up in the statistics linked to by the forum member on this thread. 

 

It's another reason why breed specific legislation is so misguided. I bet the majority of forum members would classify at least 10 of the dogs below as Pitbulls if it wasn't for the description underneath.

It would be all so simple.

As in Europe. Every over need to have an reliablity insurance. All street sogar Bring down. Done

[2long]

Why has the OP mentioned (more than once) sources referring to this breed of dog. I would say that everyone capable of reading this post, and having an A.N. account knows (and already has an opinion) on Rottweilers.

 

 If the account is true that the dogs escaped and savaged this boy, then (sadly as I am a dog lover) they need to be destroyed... and save an injection for the tight*ss pr*ck who has no remorse.

I'm not sure which would go first if it happened to me but in the words of Denzel Washington in "Man On Fire", "it's off to the next life for you".

In my country there are a lot of restrictions on keeping so-called dangerous dogs.

In addition to a ban on keeping certain breeds, breed-specific restrictions on keeping are possible. In terms of the owner, this can mean, for example, that they are of legal age, that they have a certificate of good conduct or that they are required to take a specialist test (colloquially known as a dog handler’s license). When it comes to keeping the dog, other special regulations such as a leash requirement, a muzzle requirement, a chip requirement, insurance requirements, a permit requirement, the requirement to sterilize the dog, the requirement to securely fence off the property on which the dog is kept, or passing a character test for dogs may be prescribed.

Every owner will vouch that their Rottweiler and other aggressive dogs are well trained and good nature until incident like this happened. There must be good reasons why certain countries banned entry of these aggressive dogs and those already in the country have very strict rules on keeping them like need to be on the lead and muzzled. 

While they are not on the list of dangerous dogs banned by law in the UK, according to the article below, Rottweilers are 5th on a list of:

Thailand must review those laws on keeping such kind of dogs as incidents like this has been re-occurring too often and little legal recourse for the victims. 

You must be joking. Laws on keeping such kinds of dogs? Packs of dogs of all varieties roam wild in Northern villages with scant food and zero attention paid to them by owners, if indeed they have owners.

 

i never run in Isaan countryside without carrying some kind of stick with me and even then I don’t feel 100% safe.

 

expecting some kind of law to be passed to resolve the issue of dogs attacking people seems hopeful at best and hopeless at worst.

[TheFishman1]

I’ve had six different breeds of dogs and by far the Rottweiler was one of the best I had it properly trained they are loyal and Obedient if properly trained I think they’re the best dog in the world

This is real sad, but at least he admits he's the owner. On my street everyone has a dog but if the dog gets into trouble nobody  owns their  dog.

I sincerely hope the young boy can recover from this long term (psychologically). His body, on the other hand, will be scared for life. A constant reminder.

I don't blame the dogs, but I would like to know why the owner felt the need to have 3 of them?!?! POS should man up and pay the compensation and then some more too. 

It's a sad country when the father feels it would be better to turn to social media for help as opposed to the more traditional route of getting a lawyer and pressing charges.

very sad for the poor boy who was just going fishing. 

The media need to get onto this BIG time and go after the POS owner ......

Yes, send him to prison and throw away the key.

We have 2 of them. They are very sweet and hey are very protective.

 

If anyone walks past the dogs run towards the gate and keep staying there until they are gone. If someone they don't know (and we are not HOME) enters the property they will most certainly bite!!

 

They only bark if something is wrong or if someone is trying to Enter.

 

The Female is a very good hunter, already killed a couple of snakes / rats etc etc, and the Male is rather lazy!

 

Ps: the whole property is fenced in so they can't get out, if they would be able to get out, I am expecting a Huge Bill from the next door neighbor who lets his chickens run free ????

When will people learn that it's nothing to do with the breed? It is how they are raised. Whether it's a Rottweiler, Ridgeback, PitBull, Doberman, German Shephard or whatever, they are all capable of inflicting very serious injuries and therefore need to be trained, socialized and not left to roam free in packs causing chaos in the villages.

 

Focusing on the breed just reinforces lazy stereotypes and shifts blame from where it should be placed - The Owner.

 

 

Well said sir!!

They are controllable and can be very caring dogs but need good training.

In the US the dog would have been impounded and probably put down. This is so heartbreaking, the kid will be emotionally scarred as well as physically

Agree, mostly, with there are no bad pets, just bad owners. 

Although ... you do read the off stories of dog turning on owner / child, when it was so protective and obedient in the past.   Rare but does happen, and always the 'headliner' breeds making the news of any incident.  Survey (USA) says ... Poodles bite the most people.

 

My dogs have always not liked people I don't like, without encouragement.  Would never snap at a family member, but possibly a stranger if not knowing how to approach a dog. 

 

I also encouraged all my dogs, not to trust strangers, so need to be a bit more responsible when we are around strangers.  Present best friend is a Jack Russell mix, and doubtful she would harm anyone, aside from a snap or 2, if you encroached her space.

 

 

Not this old no bad dogs just bad owner myth again, these dogs are natural born killers nothing to do with how stupid the owners are.

rightly so ...... 

I mean the guys three dogs attack the poor boy and scare him for life,  god knows he's probably lucky to have survived.

The guy then knows he's guilty and in the wrong as the dogs were outside.

The guy agrees to a settlement figure even though it can never heal the poor kids mental health.

The guy then refuses to pay the agreed amount .

 

come on   !     what planet is this scumbag living on  ......   a visit from some of the fathers mates could do wonders. 

[koratkarlos]

I bicycle every day.  For two years in Korat and 1 1/2 years in Chiang Mai.  In Korat the dogs were so bad I carried a collapsible steel baton.  Things in Chiang Mai are better.  The dogs do not seem so angry as they do in Korat.  I don't understand why.

 

Besides driving here the soi dogs are my biggest fear.  I think the situation could be better controlled.

 

I feel really sorry for the son.  He will fear dogs for the rest of his life.  

 

For me this is not about the dog breed but about the owner taking responsibility.  If he doesn't pay jail time.  The time I was bit here in Thailand the owner paid for the hospital, rabies shots and took the dog away.  I thought it was fair.

I used to own one and he loved everything and everyone except cats. When I was walking down the street and a chubby person with a baseball cap came our way he freaked out, in a good way I might add, because he thought it's my best friend. Every time the doorbell rang he went into a friendly frenzy because we got visitors. Best dog ever. Only barked when it was needed and the rest of of the time he was taking naps.

 

Of course, if you don't train a dog properly and that applies to all dog breeds, you'll have problem and in the case of a Rottweiler a very big one. That's not a must, though, just because you don't train a Rottweiler doesn't mean that they'll become automatically vicious.

 

If the ones you encountered were vicious then they were made that way by the guy who owns them, of course there's also the possibility that you just though they were vicious due to the prejudice you might have towards them.
