Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah. Saw that. And they can't identify the type of dog? Not a bully type then? Akita? If so, it'll be swept under the carpet. Can't go giving KC Pedigree stuff a nasty name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,462 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 It'll be a big 'pit type' that's been brought up bad by scumbags. Can't have been a nice way for the poor bloke to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thebigdog Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 looked like a staff, according to the bbc report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I know they're strong but for the size of them I find it hard to believe a pure bread Staff can kill a person Maybe I'm naive but the ones I come across are stocky but aren't very big and generally have a really nice temperament. Maybe its a cross with something much bigger and more powerful? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe its a cross with something much bigger and more powerful? Lol give your head a shake fella. Poor bloke not a nice way to go at all, there are ticking timebombs of these sorts of dogs all over the country. I know one family who have to sit on the floor as there mastiff wont let them on the sofa !! Also know of a fella who cant put his collie on a lead becuase it will bite him ! My saluki hates the fecker and the bull x tries to avoid it, I think there should be some sort of licence or permit to keep a dog. I know it wouldnt totally stop dickheads owning dogs but it might save a few dogs. Atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't go giving KC Pedigree stuff a nasty name. What a silly thing to say........kc or not, if a dog is dangerous then it's dangerous,unfortunately most of the young idiots i see with staffies have a kc registered dog!! Nik B...........some of the staffies i have come across are of fair size and could inflict a lot of damage or death to an elderly/small person, but i have personally never met a bad natured staff, they have all been lovely soft natured dogs, obviously this dog has been allowed to terrorize the neighbourhood by its idiot owners,.........poor elderly man rip http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-22672602 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe its a cross with something much bigger and more powerful? I kinda agree but will need to hear the facts first. Especially how able bodies was this old man? If he was frail then quite easily a staffy could pull him down and get a throat hold. If he wasn't I don't see how he couldn't get to a knife?? Very strange!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 What a silly thing to say. You're quite right, Vixen. It was silly and was a knee jerk. Fact is, 'They' want the SBT added to the list of banned dogs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 when I tried getting it off ,it turned on me. F**king hell!!! That's 'Unheard of'! I kept SBTs and Pit Bulls for years and years. Had my share of battles break out. But, I was absolutely Never concerned that one of my bulldogs would turn on me. Saying that?
