clairebear Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 i do believe that it should be ban the person not the breed, but if we then allow pitties in the UK, then look how many chavs your going to get that ditch there staffies and end up with pitbulls. they will only make the breed have an even worse name for them. Theres enough people who already only have staffs to make them think there hard etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres enough people who already only have staffs to make them think there hard etc im sorry but i disagree. The status label attached to pit bulls comes from being illegal, they will be devalued if made legal and we already have far more pit bull types in this country than we do some legal breeds so the ban clearly hasnt worked anyway. If they were legal at least their owners could take them to the vets when needed and socialize them properly instead of home treating for fear of their dog being seized and walking them late at night in isolation therefore denying them the opportunity to acquire social skills, it is isolated and unsocialized dogs (of any breed) that can acquire issues that may lead to dangerousness and the whole breed pays the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel n Hardy Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Well done Allie I may have swore a bit at that silly woman saying Lab's and Retreivers weren't aggressive , she should come round here and I'll introduce her to some. I think the number one dog for bites in this country is labs/retreivers, or at least it used to be, according to hopsitals and doctors. Probably down to being the most popular dog in the country too. I can show her an agrresive daxi (mini) too if she wants to see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 It was unfortunate that the blind lady with the lab was set on Allie like that, it's really difficult to imagine what Allie could have said in the circumstances to get her point across without seeming unsympathetic to 'that poor blind lady whose guide dog was attacked'. And it was pretty obvious that they cut what Allie said in reply as well. Suspect that didnt' help win over those who don't know the whole story and were already thinking 'I've got a Lab so I'm OK' , but in that sort of situation what on earth do you do? Very naughty and biased of the press to set that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attacks from pitties are not the dogs fault its the owners, for start recent one (bit ago now) the man bred and trained them to b visours the dog is only doing what he has being trained to do and only thing he knows. i know labs can b nasty i worked in kennels, and we had a nasty one in we had to b very careful with him, yet i dont think we had one nasty staffie in x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegk68 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Good stuff Allie:flowers: I know of plenty dodgy labs and plenty of lovely ones - that's dogs and their owners for you isn't it. Hand on heart, I'd trust my staffies over any of my labs with children any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
