Pit bulls

[Kendog]

Guys with pit-bull type dog fitted with studded collar? - 90% are slack jawed mouth-breathing fuck-wits with drug convictions and no job who have an inferiority complex but an inflated self image who in fact have a loser image according to the tax-payers who support their life-style. (and I was trying to be positive here).

Most times the bullet would be more effective if placed in the head of the owner.

Agreed, My cat has a studded collar, does the same apply to me? Oh yeah, and he is a killer. Of time maybe! Sorry, I know it is completely off topic, but just wanted to lighten up the mood. As you all were. Sorry to hear about your son and his g/friend Big Dave, hope they will be ok.

Hey
had a few PM's asking about Matt - I'll answer all here with thanks.
He'll be OK - I'm glad it's not my leg. Nasty wounds by the way they are seeping through the dressings and he's wired on painkillers. I respect the way he's handled the whole ordeal. Fuck! can you imagine throwing a wild pitbull over a fence in shorts and a singlet. Top show.

Co-pilot is about as good a registered nurse as there is - they invited her to assist in the ED and she is keeping him well mothered. At his place now.

For me - working at home and alone it was good to be able to shed some emotions. Thanks 2.

but I can't vouch for the neighbourhood cats / chickens and Bichon Freises.
And they seldom bark (but can howl like wolves should the mood take them)

do you race them?... why not?????

i race my sam's.. and there is only 2 mal owners in NZ that i would trust to run along side mine.... but lets not go there...

Motu:....
i find with my guys, the less said the more they respond... calm quiet voice... but if shit does happen a verry loud "oye" once or twice is enough to distract them... they came back and life is sweet once more.....
don't get me wrong here, my guys like a bit of hair pulling just as much as the next dog... ( and they have pleant of hair that can be pulled... not that reminds me of a funny story....... .)

I was going to say, that's a bloody good effort. In most pit attacks I've heard of the buggers won't let go.

Full respect from me mate, you breed them tough.

chairs - when he gets better i'll start calling him 'Hey Tarzan'.
And from the way I wrote that - someone should have asked what was the dog was doing wearing a singlet?


>>I've heard of the buggers won't let go.<<
PS - I just heard through mum: When asked how he got it off him.
'I wasn't washing the car - I was getting Sams handbag for her and she was up the drive. She saw it coming and started yelling. Next thing I know it's into me.
You know - I remembered really clearly what dad told me after the last one - attack its eyes - I landed a few good kicks and punches then I grabbed its head and drove my thumbs as far and as hard as i could into it's sockets it let go - then i threw it over the fence.'

I hope none of you ever have to use that advice - but it works.

I read that this morning, apparently the dog was from Otara and was being dog-sat by the whanau.
It was unlicenced, but chipping would have stopped this attack for sure.

[Big Dave]

I usually lay out between one and two large for a top quality mutt and tattooing and chipping are added security if someone lifts it. Happily do it.

We went out with our male a few times when he was younger with the local club and tried him out in harness.
Our female is an epileptic (in-breeding we didn't know about... long story...) and is on some pretty serious meds 2 times a day to keep that under control, so she can't really be stressed too much or she has seizures. Fine line between dosing her up to stop them, and knocking her out entirely.
But to be honest with both of us working full-time and spending a lot of our spare time doing bike stuff - rides, rallies, holidays all over NZ (and my other half not being keen on early morning anything) we just haven't the time to get into it properly.
We got the dogs before the bikes. In hindsight we probably wouldn't have Mals had we known we would get into bikes so much. But we love them to bits so do the best we can to excercise them every day, take them to beaches when it is raining and know we won't meet other dogs. And they have a yard to run in, plus a giant dog door so they can come and go between house and yard freely.

Hey it sounds like you put in alot of time with them... good on ya. Less chance of them going off the rails when they have a stimulating life!
I've got 2 dogs and its just 'me, myself, I' caring for them and exercising them... My life revolves around my bike and my dogs and that doesn't leave much time for anything else but I wouldn't have it any other way :-) The dogs are totally rewarding and the bike is my soul food and vice versa.

Best wishes for your boy Dave, and be sure that I'll donate to the BD ammo fund if all else fails

Top marks to your son BD, he did bloody well. Imagine if it had just been his GF there, or a child. I think most people have had to face down a wild dog at some point. It's scary. Buy that lad a DB.
There's just no justification or reason for breeding aggro dogs. Get rid of the lot. It's not like they are improving our quality of life or contributing to society in any way. Ask any postie.
A Rottie attacked my little Sheltie years ago and the stupid bitch owner couldn't control it. It didn't try to hurt me but was sure out to kill my dog. I had a hard job holding it back. I told her that if ever we meet again and she still can't control her dog ,I'll be carrying a knife to finish the bastard off'

2nd that! Top marks.I have been told about that poke in the eyes thing, good to know it works!

That totally sux. 1 of my dogs is a RottyX and she doesNOT like being approached by other dogs. Difference is that I have her under complete control, she can be off leash and she won't leave my side unless I give her the release command. My problem is other owners who let their dogs do whatever the F**k they want...like ignore the fact that I am turning in the opposite direction to get away from them while at the same time putting Shar on the leash... they persist in letting their mutts come running over and then they abuse me when it doesn't get a friendly reception! I have kicked a few dogs out of the way in my time...
Everything is a 2-way street eh?

And you can quote all the statistics you like - my son has been mauled by the cunts twice. Once when he was playing on a swing and once when he was washing a car.
Fuck your pit bull terriers to hell. ALL of them. And if anyone wants to argue the toss with me - you can get fucked too.

Absolutely understandable reaction. You have my sympathy and complete support.

"American Pit Bull Terriers" are a derivative of the English "Staffordshire Bull Terrier".

The American breeders made it a slightly taller, slightly better looking and aggressive towards humans.

The British version was used for bull bating and pit fighting but "generally" has one of the nicest natures towards humans (Especially children) of most dogs but it retains it's fighting characteristics. (Great for holding type pig dogs)

British Staffies "generally" make very loyal mild mannered reliable family pets.

"Some" American Pit Bull Terriers make very loyal mild mannered reliable family pets.

The difference in the equation is the odd rogue dog and the "human" element.

The human element is the major part of the "Dangerous Dog Syndrome" beginning with "stupid politicians" right down to the "stupid owners".

The "victim" is the poor bugger that suffers from the behaviour of "stupid people" and "dangerous dogs".

All people are capable of stupidity and all dogs are capable of being dangerous so all (including dogs) are capable of becoming victims of savage dog attacks.

Common sense (my version) tells us all dogs should be regarded as capable of being dangerous at any given time and should not be treated like humans.

Treat them like humans and they will act like humans, "bloody stupid" and "dangerous".

Remedy for dangerous dogs!

Unnecessary, unregistered, unwanted, dangerous and terminally ill dogs should be put down without undue delay.

Remedy for dangerous people!

"Tempting" but lacks integrety because of people stupidity. (dogs loose again)

I have a high level of respect for animals generally and have had countless well behaved, loyal and reliable dogs, working and pets. I am not anti-dog! I just don't believe dangerous dogs are nessessary.

i realy hope this was ment tounge in cheek.........!!!

Pixies don't have Tounges

Couldn't agree more. I have been very active at Manukau City Council meetings on this very issue and have lobbied for something very similar to what you have proposed!

Manukau has the highest number of 'known dangerous dogs' in the whole of the Auckland region...
