Nikita dog in hillsborough park

[crowefan 10]

I want people to be aware of a dog which is taken regulary around hillsborough park by a woman.

it is not kept on a lead, and has attacked my welsh terrier ( which was)

apparantly this is not a single incident.........

please give this dangerous dog a wide birth.....it is unpradictable and uncontrolled...If I see it again I shall report its owner to the police

 

cheers

are you sure it isn't an Akita and they call it Nikita??

 

I know of but have not seen this dog.

Perhaps both dog and owner should be on a leash.

My mate always gets the one near to us mixed up with the Japanese power tool 'Makita'!

Is it a tallish blond woman , mid thirties with curly hair perhaps?

Is'nt Nakita a deadly assasin off TV?

 

(sorry!)

If it has attacked your dog, then you're entitled to claim vets fees back from the owner. Take some photos etc...

 

Other than this if it's dog on dog there's nothing you can do. My own dog was savaged by two terriers - luckily after surgery she survived it. The same pair had previously gone for a bitch who was due to give birth - she lost all her pups.

Dogs are so easily to socialise - its totally unnecessary for this sort of thing. We're doing it at the moment with a pup and she's loving every minute of being with other dogs and people. She's now started taking younger pups under her wing!

 

For me, its back to reintroducing the licence and making the annual fee a big one and maybe include some sort of 3rd party insurance.

Here, an interesting paragraph is:

 

Q.My dog has attacked a dog. Am I liable?

A.Unless there was a person present who would reasonably fear that they were going to be injured, then there can be no offence under Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Proceedings could be taken under Section 2 of the Dogs Act 1871, as the Courts have ruled that a dog which is dangerous to other dogs can be regarded as dangerous. A damages claim could be brought if it could be proven that you were in some way negligent, or that you were aware that your dog had this characteristic.

 

This is worth a look....

And this is a brief explanation of dog walking law, although there's nothing about dog-dog aggression
