Dogs that attack - Is it the dog or the owner?

[george formby]

Yeah boredom. I owned a border collie, poor thing never had enough to entertain him. Most people get them cause they look cute etc but forget they basically need two people to work and entertain them because they will still be going when the first person collapses. Or like me get sucked in by the kids hollow promises.

LOL. Run their arse off for two hours & when you try to get them back in the car they look at you with that "WTF?" expression.

This applies to any high drive working breed. The snappiest, most aggressive dogs round here are Border Collies & Huntaways. My Bull Terrier has never so much as curled her lip at a dog or person but I do not assume it will never happen.
A guy with two Irish Setters told me to keep my dog away from his on the beach awhile ago, she was at heel, his dogs where running around uncontrollably, he qualified this by telling me his dogs were retrievers not fighting dogs. I asked when was the last time one of them had come home with a duck? Moron.
Licence the Breeders! Most sense I've heard in years.

We have a GWP, excellent gun dog but it needs a massive amount of exercise, not only running but hunting as well.
We have met so many people that have had this type of dog and not taken them for walks and wonder why they destroy the house then have the nerve to call them a bad dog.

Yep that's it and all whilst running in circles and this whilst he was still only a puppie.

We say it's the "what is that it look".

Just proves what little you know about dogs.

Can you answer the question?

I posted that because I thought it might be implying something about a breed commonly in the headlines at the moment. Despite the huge problems caused by vicious dogs few of them have been bred to be purely vicious or human aggressive.
Akita's ( guarding fortified Japnese villages), Cuban Blood Hounds ( used by the Spanish to hunt down escaped slaves), early Mastiffs (used by armies) & other Molossa breeds were bred for these traits but people prefer to base their opinions on headlines not research & consequently have never heard of them.

But that's the thing there are dogs that have a tendency to be aggressive but not vicious.
All of the above have been trained.

Ok, i'm being pedantic, I was meaning specifically bred. Any dog can be made vicious, sadly it's the ones that can do the most damage & are hardest to stop which are being encouraged. 100's of years of breeding down the toilet to make someone feel tough.

My best mate is a old English black and tan terrier also called a Welsh terrier. They have been around since history began and is the root breed for all terriers. Ted is registered in the UK as a historic UK dog breed.

He is only 12 kg but is a tough, confident, unfashionable happy medium sized dog. He is the best rabbit hunting dog I have ever seen. We went for a walk the other day, I shot 12 and he caught 8. He has never started a dog fight but he has finished a few of them, he is fast, tough and has no reverse gear.

The downside with him is he has no recall, he doesent go far from me (about 100m) but won't come back when called. If he sees something to chase he is off and he won’t take his eye off it. He is smart, understands about 30-40 words. He needs at least two walks a day, he also seems to have a good memory. If it is in his mouth it is his.

I have never had a staffy or red nose but if you took one of my dogs and bread them for aggression you would end up with a very dangerous animal.
