i want to add something.
not every person that has a muscular dog has it because they want a status dog. yes there is an increase in the amount of ‘tough looking’ dogs around, but then again dog breeds popularity is always changing. not so long ago the average family would have had a mutt as the family dog. now most people have pure breeds, society is always changing. why anyone selects their breed of dog, as long as they train and care for it well, is entirerly up to them.
many breeds are muscular, greyhounds are quite muscluar, maulumants are muscular but their covered with thick pushy hair, st.barnards and newfowlands are the same. so saying all muscular are status dogs is vague. if someone gets a dog, trains it to be aggressive to delibarate intimade others, that is what i consider a status dog!
i’m not sure if you had my first post proberly or if you think that someone coming over and trying to kick my dog and being abusive towards me is acceptable, but i’ll refrase. my dog was no were near them. he didn’t go towards them or even look at them! THEY CAME UP TO HIM! now i can understand someone being afaird of a large dog coming up to them, and them deffending themselfs from it! but like i said, they went out of their way to come up to him. thats not self-deffence, thats just attacking for the sake of attacking!
sorry but if anyone feels they have the right to attack a dog that wasn’t intefearing with them or anyone else, somthing is wrong! now i dont accept people to trust him, to be petting him or hugging him, i wouldn’t accept anyone to do this with any dog they didn’t know, regardless of what breed of dog it is. but like Brianna said i want people to respect my right to be in public with my dog! we’ve not hurting anyone, nor are we tring to or tring to scare anyone. this image of every single muscular dog is a status and the owner only having them to train it to be a visous attack dog, is rubbish!
infact, i’ve never met a dog & its owner that are like this. i know that there out there some where, but this image has nothing to do with me and my dog! i met aggressive dogs from ‘friendly pet’ breeds, the worest being an aggressive black lab amd their are two aggressive dogs in my local park. every single time i see these dogs they are off lead, causing problems with every one else’s dogs! the owners of course denining that the dogs are a problem because ‘my babie’s not aggressive’ and thats it! its the owners causing the probelms, and not just the owners of ’status’ dogs!
personly i agree there is a problem with dogs that are off lead that shouldn’t be! yes, your right that is doesn’t matter if it was an accident or not if you or your kid gets put in hosptiacl by a some else dog. some owners let their dog off lead, regardless of the fact that is aggressive or hyper and slamming into everyone. for this reason, i think that dogs should have to pass a behavoiral test or kennel club good citizen test before they can be let off lead in public. i don’t think banning any breed will stop the problem with bad and irresponisble owners!
yes, this article is bais. it’s suppost to be! its an arguement after all. the goverment minipulate stats for their agenda, the for breed ban arguement. so minipulating stats to prove the opposite is the normal counter arguement! both sides are bais, their ment to be even some of the goverments arguements are speculation. which arguement you support is up to you, this article is just to inform everyone that not every thing they read is accurate.
