    @ Jawgap

    I am not quoting that lot but surprise, surprise that you found lots of items on the Devil Dogs.

    We will now assess breeds by the number of youtube videos.

    As I said, I know them well ............ and it's people like you, blind when it comes to facts regarding dogs, that put me off being involved.

    Why would you breed a dog when hundreds of them are in rescue and being pts?

    My mind can't comprehend why anyone who cares about the breed would bring more of them into the world rather than helping the ones that are already here. Money?

    Let's just say I won't be taking on board any more of your opinions.

    Cause his mates wanted them & he wanted to make sure that they went to good homes - I think that's the gist of what he said before.

    Oh & they didn't worry him but I do. I am about to walk my terrifying Lab Collie & Greyhound

    Do you think I'm in some way concerned about you taking on board any of my opinions? You do have a high opinion of yourself obviously! :D

    No he probably took money & donated it to the rescues. I hear that he is due at the Vatican ;)

    That makes me sick.
    I worked in rescue, I was one of the people that held the result of those breeders when they were too damaged to be rehomed and had to be pts.
    At least someone cared enough to cuddle them as they died.
    I hope the money was worth it.

    Me? No. I have a dog thats scared of children so as a responsible owner he's muzzled at all times outside the home. When people visit he's locked away.
    It's called being responsible. You wouldnt understand that.

    Hes neutered to make sure the genes can't be passed on.

    But his aggression is your fault? Not innate.

    "I need to get a muzzle for my dog as he has decided he doesn't like children and has snapped at them."

    Hmmm ..........

    Yep. In the words of previous posters this would mean the owner is at fault as aggression is learnt.

    Sorry what? Fear and aggression are very different things.

    Training a dog to attack and fight and deliberately encouraging that is very different to a small dog who hides from children running towards him squealing with hands outstretched.
    I don't know if he would bite, he never has before but putting a muzzle on him protects him and everyone else.

    You don't know if he'll bite? But he has snapped at children ....... no?

    Surely there was no need to neuter him as you can just train a dog to ignore it's natural instincts ......... in fact, you could have trained your own dog not to be a danger to children ......... why didn't you?? Surely you're not an irresponsible owner because, if you are, then I won't be taking on board any more of your opinions I'm afraid. :pac:

    Dog scared of children shocker.

    Owner takes steps to protect children by muzzling dog and locking said dog away, has dog neutered to prevent accidental passing on of genes as advised by vet.

    Scummy breeder has no argument so goes through old posts to avoid answering his own disgusting behaviour.

    You're talking to someone who pumps out puppies for money without a damn about there welfare. You can't be suprised he doesn't comprehend what responsibility is. He can't sell it for a start.

    o you think some dogs are more prone to fear and aggression than others?

    Wait the puppy farmer is trying to lecture dog owners on how to treat dogs? This is priceless.

    Says the poster who only a few pages back was resorting to personal digs:rolleyes:

    Ignore him NJS. On the last thread like this he actually imagined a scenario where my child was savaged by one of our dogs, wrote a little epitaph and everything. Seriously, there's no place low enough for this poster to stoop...

    They are very similar. All muslims are terrorists & all dogs are dangerous.

    The dogs were supposedly shot to allow emergency workers in.

    Has it been confirmed if the woman was a stranger to the house? I've heard different things but nothing confirmed.

    Awful tragedy.
