    I was worried by a greyhound when I was about 12 and had to go to hospital but since then I have turned things round in my head and have no fear at all and would quite happily kick the brains out of any dog that attacked me. Probably from working with mental tups boars and bulls.

    One around the corner from where we live killed our first Daschund and nearly killed the wife when getting to it. They can be visious animals. Owners will say they know their dog but theres a bit of wolf in all of them no matter the size. Certain breeds are inherintly dangerous and its selfish to let them off the lead in area not secured and free of other people.

    They'd be banned if they were inherently dangerous. As for it being selfish letting the dog off its lead... Have another <laugh>

    Much better tonight with 3 sensible owners that saw I was calming mine down and walked past making sure their dogs behaved.

    One lady even said I would struggle as "some people shouldn't have dogs if they can't control their snapping". Her dog was a little Yorkshire terrier who just wanted to sniff and be friends

    When dogs see someone with a stick walking towards them they can sometimes see it as a threat to themselves (in which case they will probably try to avoid you). Or to their beloved owners, and their instinct is to protect them. I don’t know if it would work, but when you see a strange dog in the distance, if you could try hiding the stick behind you. Just a guess.

    My lovely natured dog was a cross between a collie and something else. Very placid and patient. Just wanted to be friends with everybody - dogs and humans (but not cats). Every night around ten pm we would go for a walk around the block. One night, I had her on the lead, and as we passed the local shop, this little yorkie came shooting out and into my dog, snapping and snarling. My dog was off balance and caught up in the lead so couldn’t retaliate. The lad and lass the yorkie was with were very slow to get it under control. After that I never bothered putting my dog on the lead. A couple of weeks later we followed the same route, and lo and behold who should come round the corner? Yep. The same yorkie. My dog went for it, bundled it over and gave it a good sorting. Yelps from the yorkie, the lass it was with, and threats from the lad. We finished our walk, my dog with its tail in the air. Sorry, it wasn’t a yorkie. A Jack Russell.

    A question a bit controversial, who thinks all dogs should wear a muzzle when out. I’ve thought about it and I don’t think it’s a bad idea, I reckon it will just be like people wearing masks, it will look normal in a few months and it will stop anybody getting bit.
    It’s strange this topic came up as a lass I know has just been bit by a spaniel on her hand. She has just got out of hospital after 4 days and was told the poison in her was so high if she hadn’t gone to A and E she would of been dead within two days. Made me think is a muzzle such a bad thing, it’s not the size of the dog it’s the s hite that’s on their teeth that is the problem.

    Since you now own a bulldog you may find your dog could be snapped at a bit more, mine have been ‘went for’ quite a few times. The dog i lost had 2 jack russells grabbing his neck i had to get them off, there was other occasions with other dogs too. The one i still have got attacked by the jack russell at the end of the street, it jumped the wall went for him and i had to grab it’s collar till owner finally came out and got it.
    Not sure how true it is but was told years ago when i got my first Bulldog that the attacks are more regular because of the dog’s expression, some other dogs can’t read it. My other dog also had a screw tail so couldn’t wag it to say he was friendly.

    Not a chance. The vast majority of dogs are lovely natured and that wouldn't be fair.

    Dogs should be muzzled once they've shown aggression outdoors. I do think that's right and that there's not enough people muzzle their dogs that should really be wearing one.

    Yeah but nobody would accept that. I'd never go along with it. It would be cruel and just more signs that us humans are ****ed up, selfish and dominating.

    Tbh I'd rather see your mate lose his gun licence before dogs are muzzled. I'd rather be bit by a stray dog than hit by a stray bullet.

    Can we muzzle paedophiles first, please? I see them as a bigger danger to the kids on the streets than a little ****ty dog.

    My wife and I are in the North East for a weekend with our greyhound. Ex racer, very gentle and quite nervous.
    In the next room are a couple with two yappy terriers. 5am they started this morning.
    Still going at it now. There will be bloodshed by Monday.
