It's not the dog's fault. Its not the dogs fault it bites a child in the face ??? The dog is just doing what it does right ? And thats the whole point... a PitBull does what dogs do, but far more aggressively with far more power, far more frequently. Many of the ‘dangerous’ dogs we discussing are bred to instinctively take the head and back of the neck - this is different from a poorly trained Golden Retriever snapping as a ‘reaction’... The ‘dangerous dog’ ‘attack’... there was a horrific video of this just last year. https://aseannow.com/topic/1220657-pit-bull-attacks-three-year-old-child-has-to-go-and-live-with-gran-as-parents-demand-dogs-removal/ ------ I also agree that young children should not be left alone with any dog, even if its a cockapoo. 1 1

Then again. A Chihuahua named Nazi might have looked ridiculous. ???? Perhaps a little off topic. My grandmother had a chihuahua. It and my aunt's Pekinese, both small dogs, ravaged the fingers on my hand causing me to drip a copious amount of blood. The only dogs that did when they bit me. Both times my fingers bled for several minutes before the bleeding stopped! I can only surmise the dogs did not like me carrying them, even though I carried them the same way as my grandmother and my aunt carried them. I have been bitten by other, bigger dogs, including a pit bull that ran from almost 200 feet away to bite me on the leg while I was riding a bicycle. My aunt's and grandmother's dogs are the only two that drew enough blood to bleed a large amount much less to drip off the wound.

Not the wisest move, although in my case after the surprise of seeing a child thrown over the fence I strongly suspect my dog would inspect the injured child rather than attack it, although I have to admit I haven't tested him with flying children ????. That's a bit like throwing your child into the road and then calling for a ban on cars.???? 1

jacko45k Posted September 22, 2022 Posted September 22, 2022 Just now, IvorBiggun2 said: Why not? Why buy a Lamborghini when a Ford Escort does basically the same job? So now we say a Pit Bull is a Lambo while a Lab (used to guide blind people for many years) is a Ford Escort..... such silliness No, if there is the slightly higher likelihood of it mauling children, it won't happen. Just like I won't be buying a lambo, which couldn't get over the bumps in my road.

There is no justifiable reason to have such a potential killing machine at home. The dog is not at fault but the dog is a dog is a dog and nobody can tell you with 100% certainty what it takes for the dog to go bananas. What was it Bill Burr said about Pitbulls? Oh yes, "A gun you can pet"...

He has an exercise yard on our farm which is made of chainlink fence which mainly serves to keep other dogs in the village away from him as they are very aggressive and I prefer they dont fight each other, but also to stop him wandering onto the road and getting run over. A child couldn't just wander in there as the other poster suggested. My analogy was not about cars but about deliberately going out of your way to place a child into an imaginary, far fetched situation where it could get hurt to prove your point. You're clutching at straws. 2

You are saying that you dog hasn't attacked anyone yet because its kept in a secure location and where no one can enter , that doesn't detract from the fact that you keep a potentially killer dog on your property . You dog is trained to attack any intruders and may even kill them . If for some reason there's a stranger kid on your property and you dog kills that kid , you would be at fault for having a killer dog on your property . 4

If for some reason there's a stranger kid on your property and you dog kills that kid , you would be at fault for having a killer dog on your property . A very valid point... The responsible owners of these dogs which we’d usually see on a dangerous dogs list in countries such as the UK (or even dogs which are banned) always comment how their dogs are well trained and secured, can’t get out, people can’t get in etc.... Why is that necessary ??.... what are they scared of ?? - the answer is clear, they know the power of their dog and the consequences if ‘something’ triggered the dog. Thus: IF there was an automatic penalty for the owner, would they own such a dog ? Then... would any dog be owned ??? This perhaps highlights that all dogs can bite. All dogs can be triggered. But, IF triggered the consequences of a more dangerous dog ‘turning’ are far more severe.... deadly. 3
