Assistance Given During Attack on My Dog

[helhol 11]

I know a few lovely Staffy's. But unfortunately for the breed and decent owners they do seem to be the current show off dog of the mentally challenged.

 

I had one years ago with my 4 kids and she was great with other dogs too, but she went everywhere with me and the kids, so she was socialised and treated as a family member not a guard dog which some numb nuts do to look tough,

Unfortunately it was a staffy I am afraid but I am definitely of the opinion that every breed of dog can be dangerous.

 

I agree, thank goodness it was on a lead though otherwise the outcome could of been much worse as you both had control of them , hope puppy gets better soon though x

here we go!!!!, why do people assume it was a staffy? any breed of dog could be capable of attacking another dog,

 

You got trolled.

My daughters staffie Porridge who she has had since a pup (now a podgy deaf 13yr old) has always been a great ambassador for the gentle side of the breed,a large muscular dog in his younger years,he nevertheless has never shown any signs of agression to either people or other dogs,he has been attacked twice,and mauled quite badly by a pitbull and an Akita(which nearly killed him)both who were off the lead and owned by the mentally challenged,the owner of the Akita stood back and watched his dog run across a busy road in oncoming traffic just to get to poor old Podge(who was on a lead) Porridge was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the vets to be stitched up,but not once in the attack did he attempt to defend himself,he remains a good natured gentle dog,who loves kisses and cuddles from my grandaughters,and despite him being a bit arthritic,a bit gray,very deaf and the shape of a well upholstered bench,he is still as daft as a brush.Its the Epic idiots who buy these as trophy dogs to make themselves look less insignificant that are the problem.

Just so there is no confusion - when I referred to "muzzle" in my post I meant my dog's nose/face area not a restraining muzzle.

Don't understand your point, just because the dog was on a lead does not mean it's well trained or looked after.

Can this thread not turn into a pro staffie or any other breed specific please.

 

I hope the guide dog gains his confidence. I have a golden lab and would be happy to meet up and help socialise. Shes soft as a brush.

[MrSkinner 10]

it just goes to show that the other dogs should not be allowed near other dogs at all

 

Sorry, what?!

 

I once saw a fella attack another fella once. Maybe we shouldn't let people mix together either!

Once my puppy Rottweiler was mounted by a Doberman and he grew up to be a prolific serial rapist. I hope this dog doesn't grow up to be aggressive towards other dogs.

The safest thing can say is "No comment"

Typical really how everyone jumps on the hate staffy band wagon. I've a rescue staffy and he's daft as a brush. Granted he doesn't get on with many other dogs maybe he was mistreated in the past. However when I'm walking mine I stay vigilant and always look for other dog owners and sit my dog down until they have passed. I'm not out blaming anyone however surely both party's should be observant. I drove past this incident outside the Travellers and didn't stop due to the old saying too many chefs spoil the broth. However lets not all panic now and turn the other way when we see staffys on the roads.

 

I hope your pup makes a full recovery too
