    If your dog’s on heat, is it right to expect every dog-owner within a two-mile radius to keep their randy dogs locked up? Shouldn’t the bitches with the bitches keep their mutts banged up, so that they don’t get banged up?

    Some barking mad woman from round the corner was remonstrating with my son because his Big Black, Thick, Harmless dog shagged her bitch, ultimately leading to a load of pups and, allegedly, a €200 vet's bill. She even owned up to the fact that she had reported us to the County-Council dog-warden.

    The warden showed up a couple of weeks ago, and he told me that someone had notified him that the BBTH dog had been attacking people. I said that the dog, although a mean-looking critter, was completely harmless and would probably faint at the sight of blood.

    I couldn’t work out which of the local “Deliverance” inbreds had done the dirty, but now I know that it was the mad woman round the corner. Obviously, “Attacking people”, in her vocabulary, is the same as “Giving her bitch a good seeing-to”.

    What I want to know is, can the BBTH dog sue her for slander, can she be locked up for making false accusations and wasting the dog-warden’s time. Should she be sectioned? Should I be sectioned? Should the BBTH dog have his balls chopped off?

    Our dog (god rest his soul) got the randy bitch up the road preggers and her owner (who coincidently was a bitch too...) came to our door screaming 'my dog had to have a hysterectomy because of yer dog'

    The dog should be locked up irrespective of any other circumstances. If you're sons dog is wandering around free and unleashed then your son is a fcuking idiot.

    Dogs should be locked up 24/7? Like in Guantanamo or where? Why should they be locked up?

    Dogs are animals and need to be able to move around. Everyone I know who has a dog, doesn't have it locked up and they wander into our back garden every now and again. It's nice having dogs around the place.

    That is in the countryside though. I don't live in the country side anymore but don't know anyone with a dog in the town I live in or in the city.

    Shouldn’t the bitches with the bitches keep their mutts banged up, so that they don’t get banged up?

    Seems like common sense to me.

    Stealth revenge needs to be wreaked on the bitch with the bitch, bide your time and opportunity should present itself, Halloween is coming soon I note ;)

    He can't be a "fcucking idiot" because he knows where to put apostrophes and also knows the difference between your and you're. :p

    I'm talking about the countryside. Dogs are always roaming around the place, most of them minding their own business and avoiding trouble at all cost.

    Our dogs are kept in the house, which is unusual in these parts, as everybody else keeps their dogs outside.

    If I lived in a town or city, I probably wouldn't have a dog, because it would need to be confined.

    That's why you take dogs out for walks.

    I live in the country also and there is no way in hell I would allow my dogs to wander as the local sheep farmers tend to operate a "shoot first, ask questions later" policy. Not to mention the risk of your dog being run over, stolen or getting lost if you allow it to roam.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    Dogs are intelligent and can be taught to stay on your property without being locked up which will probably just p*ss them off and make them more agressive.

    Our dog used to walk around our house and our neighbours but wouldn't go out on the road or into farmers field and same with their dog. We didn't mind the dog going into each others back yards.

    Got no sheep here.

    Years ago, three or four dogs attacked a calf about a mile away from here. The farmer arrived with his loaded shotgun on the door-step of the one of the dog-owners, who just happened to be a Guard. The Guard persuaded him to back off when money was mentioned.

    Before that incident, the same Guard used to visit the local schools, telling the kids that their dogs should all be tied up and not allowed to wander around. His dog was never at home.

    I'm not even a dog lover, but the inbreds keep nicking stuff from sheds and houses, so there doesn't seem to be an alternative to a barking dog, unless you've got one of those automatic "Attack Dog Tape-recordings".

    Sounds like the mad woman around the corner needs a good "attacking".

    She'd probably rip the throat out of a rabid Rhodesian Ridgeback with one hand, and at the same time disembowel a Rotweiler with the other. :eek:

    Your son's dog is his responsibility, the bitch is the woman's responsibility, and in my opinion they are both equally responsible, at all times.

    I think he should be neutered, and the dog should be as well.

    By law dogs should be under the control of their owners 24/7. If it's freely roaming around the neighbourhood, its obviously not. Its a danger to children and a nuisance to everyone else.

    At least someone's coming up with something constructive - now we're getting somewhere. Can you PM me your address so that I know where to send your free dog?

    Mad that people who don't get thier dogs fixed and want to breed them don't put them on the pill.

    Under the Control of Dogs Act 1986 as amended by the Control of Dogs (Amendment) Act 1992

    Section 9 requires that a dog, when not on the premises of its owner or of another person in charge of the dog, must be accompanied by, and be under the effective control of, its owner or of another person. The Section also makes the owner guilty of an offence if a dog worries livestock.

    http://www.irishdogs.ie/information/Control%20of%20Dogs.htm


    Stray dogs are dogs that are in a public place and are not accompanied by the owner or a responsible person. Dogs that are not under proper control are also considered stray dogs. You can receive an on-the-spot fine if your dog is not under proper control. Stray dogs may be seized by the dog warden and the Gardaí and brought to the local dog pound. These dogs may be put down or disposed of if their owners do not claim them within 5 days. If your dog has strayed or is missing, you should contact the local dog pound directly to check whether or not your dog has been picked up. Before you pick up your dog, you will have to pay a re-claim fee and produce a current dog licence. If you do not have a current dog licence, you must obtain one from your local post office before collecting your dog.

    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/environment/animal-welfare-and-control/control_of_dogs
    9.—(1) The owner or any other person in charge of a dog shall not permit the dog to be in any place other than—

    [GA] ( a ) the premises of the owner, or

    [GA] ( b ) the premises of such other person in charge of the dog, or

    [GA] ( c ) the premises of any other person, with the consent of that person,

    [GA] unless such owner or such other person in charge of the dog accompanies it and keeps it under effectual control.

    [GA] (2) If a dog worries livestock, the owner or any other person in charge of the dog shall be guilty of an offence unless it is established that at the material time the dog worried the livestock for the purpose of removing trespassing livestock and that having regard to all the circumstances the action was reasonable and necessary.

    [GA] (3) A person who is guilty of an offence under subsection (2) of this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £500, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month, or, at the discretion of the court, to both such fine and such imprisonment.

    OP, it's quite clear that your dog wandering around in public spaces and
    servicing the neighbours bitch is against the law and it is you/your son
    that is in the wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,329 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    if she has a bitch and does want it to get pregnant, then she should have it neutered. These are dogs, not people - the male dog (and its owner) are ultimately not responsible for the pups.

    However - I don't think you should have a dog roaming the neighbourhood unrestrained.

    Did you ever wake up in the morning with a barking headache and feeling a bit woof, and you cant quite cock a leg at what is wrong? Then turn over and theres a total dog beside you in the bed........






    Nah, me neither.

    When it comes to growlers, some people aren't too fussy about what they wake up next to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    I can't help thinking certain people should have the following before they
    are allowed own a dog:
    - dog licence
    - intelligence test
    - map of Ireland

    Maybe if the OP gets a find in the post for allowing their dog to stray they'll still find the loss of €500 as amusing ;)

    There's no need to bite my head off. Anyway, I don't actually own a dog, so the licenced owner will have to pay, which I will still find amusing. :P
