I usually let my veterinarian friend do it. He is well liked by the dogs, and they are used to being treated by him. However, we had do do an emergency suturing of Jack last winter in my friend's vacation cottage, because Jack had run into something sharp on one of his sojourns and cut his...

I'm not talking about the occasional foray into the neighbour's yard, but about being goine for hours, sometimes half days. During which time I'd always be wondering if a car got him or a hunter. Remember Gerry's story about the little wiener dog that never came home? My wife flat out refused...

One thing I should have mentioned about training, is that there comes a point where one realizes that a certain dog is untrainable. Then it is time to get rid of the dog, so it won't make your life suck. On that note, I shot Jack yesterday. I've had him for 2 years and it has been an uphill...

So where you live, a peeping Tom would go to the cops and explain that while he was illegally trespassing on a farm way out in the sticks, peeping through a window to watch the woman of the house undressing for bed, he had been shot at but not wounded. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.:lol:

You mean because the dogs are fed, then eventually eaten?

Just found this today. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NZ74oFctP_g" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Really interesting I think. Would have loved to see way more examples, though. The reason the two dogs attack...

Obviously that is the reason most countries have banned them.

Excellent argument, really!

The problems for the Staffordshire Bullterrier owners is that in all the countries where Pitbulls are outlawed, Pitbull owners will alway claim that it is not a Pit but a Staffy. So the cops will have to wait untill it attacks something( which usually doesn't take long) to have it put down...

Huge difference between a Staffy and a Pitbull. Not the same thing at all. There has been a lot of work put into breeding the viciousness out of Staffordshires. I'm all for putting mad dogs ( and Englishmen, for that matter) down. Only way to deal with them. You think somebody can train that...

Does that mean that you think it is fine to own a dog that has been genetically preprogrammed to attack anything that moves and even some stuff that doesn't? I can see that shit going over well in the US, where guns never kill people. Why do you think the Pitbull is outlawed just about...

Honestly, Butch. Do you want me to post 217 others like it. Would be easy enough, just go to youtube and search: Pitbull+mayhem! I don't give a flying frig that you think the breed is maligned and it is never their fault, always the owners. I believe in statistics, and they show approximately...

Right, I know that very well, since you've told me dozens of times It is never the Pitbull's fault. Just like it is never the ICBM's fault. Both sure manage to cause a lot of mayhem, being at fault or not.

Of course, Sean could always just get a pit bull. They are such misunderstood, loving animals:lol: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dHQdPurKHXY" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> What shocked me about this video is...

Well, he is a terrier, what can I say. He would give a frig about a remote controlled electric shock collar, though. That I can promise you. With someone like him, it would probably take 3 tries, zapping him so hard his asshole fell off, and he'd never so much as look at a cat again. Know...

Something happened today that made me think of this thread. The Eggplants that I have lovingly raised from seeds bought in the good old US of A didn't handle being transferred to the polytunnel too well. Probably gonna lose all of them. I love eggplants, so I went to town to buy replacements...

I can't really see myself doing that. The way you train has to be suited to what kind of person you are and the circumstances you live in. Not least the kind of dog you have and what your expectations are for that dog. I always tell people to make a short list of what they want the dog to do...

Shit, Sean. You can probably tell, that you've pushed my button. I really wanted to stay out of this, because the whole dog thing is just so tied up with how one's personality works. Then I remember how Pete adviced me not to go the Malamute/shepherd way like he has done, because he felt it...

Do not bring your daughter when you choose the dog, be it a rescue or a clean slate type. That is the worst mistake people make. There is NO way you can go look at a bunch of cute puppies and decide not to buy one, if you have your kid with you. So people usually end up buying one from the...

Personally, I'd never do it. Like you say, too much of a lottery. However much I would like to save every dog in the world, I don't want to be stuck with a dog, that somebody else has frigged up for good, for maybe 10 years. So for me it has always been 8 weeks old pups, bought from people where...
