yup it must be me i'm deffinately bad luck,

:nuke: i think it's probably safest if i'm avoided for a bit :nuke:

my star sign must be lined up with mars or summat :- "

i've passed on all the advice to Carol and Ken along with healing thoughts for Molly :luck: and as soon as she is on the mend will get her to come to the racing so she can have a good old socialise with all the friendly whippys and dad Oto, that should give her a good confidence boost :thumbsup:

god, it is awful around this way. when we 1st got amber, my oh took her for a walk and was followed by a group of men. after that we couldnt walk her here. until we got our own car, we had to cadge lifts with other people, meaning she couldnt go out more than twice a week at least you can verify when i say we have a lot of scum in slough! your end must get a lot of travellers, what with having iver, datchet etc on your doorstep. a friend of mine said its good to get in with them as they'd look out for you, but, yes, the dog would get nicked?!

Yes i think surrounded by degenerates fits the bill. You really have to be sooo careful!

I do my first walk with them all around 6am on deserted waste ground where i know no ones around, then again around 7pm.

We have had cars waiting for us with 4 blokes in, we have been followed, offered money, the most scary was when 2 blokes jumped out on us & tried to snatch the dogs leads but i had a "spray" which shall we say left them incapacitated for a while.

Its not a good area to live especially if you have hounds but just have to be on your guard at all times & be really sensible.

Ohhh to win the lottery & be able to move somewhere nice!!

i thimk the first step would be to get the dog liscence back !! and a hefty fine for anyone not having one .

i know it wouldnt solve a lot but may help a little ??

then heavier penalties for dog owners if their dog is not under controll ,, so many nice dogs and people out there so to try and do away with the bad lot without compromising the good lot would be hard i think ?

Poor Molly ,We Hope she makes a full recovery :wub: :luck: :luck:

Poor Molly, what an awful thing to happen. I hope she will get better soon, and her scar will get covered by her hair. :luck: :huggles:

I agree; lot of dog owners cannot "read" their dogs, nor do they seem to understand that bullterriers have incredible strength in their jaws and therefore are capable of doing lot more damage than some other breeds. Also they have been bred for fighting in the past, and just as Whippets have an instinct to chase, they still do have, to varying degree, instinct to fight . I know lot of staffies and they are lovely, friendly, wriggley, tail wagging, smiley dogs. But I have also seen some of these dogs, which i have known for many years, to turn and attack without any notice whatsoever. In one incident in particular; two dogs living together in total harmony all their lives just flew at each other in presence of their owners and me, one ended dead the other badly hurt. When dogs like these end up with people who actually like them to be agressive, they are only a disaster waiting to happen.

Fortunately, we have here pretty strict laws; dog that attacks other animal is declared dangerous, the owner is fined $2 000, the dog must wear ugly fluorescent orange collar, must never be allowed to run free in public, and the property where it is kept must have a huge sign "Dangerous Dog". That is just for the first offence.

Poor Molly, she looks sore!

Those fierce dogs are just so jealous of our beautiful, dainty and extremely fast whippies, and just wish they were as even tempered as them, and wish they could catch them up just once---no chance!

Hope Molly recovers really quickly and that her fur grows back well,

Cheers

I've only just caught up out all day yesterday, poor Molly sending lots of best wishes for a speedy recovery :huggles: :huggles: :huggles:

 

[kim & Tilly]

OMG!!!.......for poor molly i hope she recovers very soon... :huggles: :wub: :wub:

 

For the lady who lives where the men wait......OMG!!!! words are lost :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

 

I think ALL dogs should be muzzled then there is no problem......

This country has gone mad, if you are caught with sighthounds coursing the police can fine, ban you from owing any form of dog, and confiscate your vehicle etc

Yet if your dog gets attacked be it a bull breed or not they seem totaly disintrested!!

My sisters airedale and daughter!! were attacked by a staffie last month both dog and daughter needed sutures when reported to the police they told her " It's difficult there was no witness's and it is owned by a local thug!!"

And before i have bull owners flaming me i have no problem with these dogs my dad bred EBT but unfortunately they tend to be owned and bred by a certain ilk who take pride in there aggression thus perpetuating the problem. a responsible owner who knows there dog will attack if approached should muzzle giving other dog walkers the clear message to keep there distance and leash their dogs( i have seen sighthound owners who approach the edge of a field and unleash without a care!!)

The govt need to address the dangerous dog act now!

that does sound like a good idea, :thumbsup: especially the fine, but with the kind if d**kheads who live round here, ugly flourescent would just add to status of the dog

Tried that route with the hunting act didn't work!!

Governments will never do anything unless they think it will earn them brownie points with the electorate, they have to be persuaded that punishing people for allowing their dogs to injure other animals and possibly people, especially children, would be rather popular with most people. Or at least you would not find many people objecting to such a law. The idiots who feel proud of their aggressive dogs are very likely to be too ignorant to organise any sort of opposition to such a law.

I would start with gathering some statistics on dogs being injured, ask vets (?) or your insurance company ( they could not be happy paying out huge vet bills for dogs injured by other dogs). Get some powerful organization on your side. :luck:

sadly, near enough everyone here has had 1st hand experience of a dog attack

i wonder if some sort of petition could be started on here, with the various breeds people have, it could be passed to everybody's breed clubs etc... as most of the attcking dogs are owned by people who dont care, these wont be in any breed club, meaning that such a motion is unlikely to recieve any hinderance from them until its already got too much momentum to be stopped.

now, how to start it? anyone got any ideas?

 

[beaker]

dangerous dog acts/ breed specific legislation/dog licences etc they all started out with the best of intentions, trouble is they get twisted to suit, miss used and quoted and all give even more ammo to the anti dog brigade, who would be more than happy to see every single dog tied up, muzzled at all times, never allowed to free run, and neutered.

controls are deffinately needed, i'm just worried that it will be taken to extremes by self serving politicians looking for emotive subjects to jump on for their own gain, it's bad enough that by just owning a whippet i am occasionally looked upon as a lower class neanderthol who has dogs purely to catch baby bunnies to club to death :rant:

every breed has it's quirks ours have a tendancy to chase small things, it's in their nature to do this, so we take steps to avoid accidents, EBT's, SBT's and others of this type have dedicated breeders who responsibly produce even tempered dogs and strictly vet new owners, but for every one of these people there are a hundred others who just see the dogs as livestock, put no thought into pedigree and temperament, spend as little money on rearing pups as possible and will sell to anyone who has the cash, just go look in your local free add paper (who are perpetuating the problem in my opinion ) and there is likely to be a sizable block of SBT's and their crosses at over inflated prices and you can bet your last penny that the taxman doesn't see any of - actually maybe this could be the answer, hit them in the pockets and see what happens, money is after all why most of them breed.

sorry i'm ranting again

 

[lalena]

i do agree with regards to free ads. in ours a lady has been advertising 1/4 persian kittens for £150, and a man selling pedigree crosses( :blink: ) but steps to eradicate back yard breeders, who in my opinion are as bad as puppy farmers, cannot be a bad thing? the thing is, around my way, once a bitch has been overbred, she gets discarded, so the proof is gone. if it cannot be proved that these monsters are bringing breeds into disrepute, how can they be fined etc?
