walshie 2,804 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 My mrs takes my dog out for a walk a couple of times a day. She doesn't use a lead as the dog is recallable 100% of the time regardless of what she's chasing. She's a big strong dog (ridgeback) but she has still been attacked a couple of times when she's out. Once was buy a retriever when she was a puppy and it ripped her ear and another time was a GSD that ripped her neck needing staples. She's had a few other scrapes in the past, but nothing too serious. She has never been the aggressor. If a dog wants to play, she'll play, but otherwise she's happy doing her own thing and takes no notice of other dogs except the few she's got to know over the years. This afternoon, my mrs was up the park and 3 "asian blokes" had their usual cock-extension pitbull type dog with them and they ignored it when it ran up to my dog snarling and snapping. My dog (good girl) wasn't going to be the victim any more and bit it on the side of it's head. It ran back whimpering to it's owners and my dog went back to sniffing around. My mrs shouted at them to control their dog and one of them said "My dog's bleeding - you want to keep your effing dog under control." But they were also careful to keep their distance. Why do these people have dogs they can't control? Not so much of a cock-extension now is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,121 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Need to watch mate as regardless if she's by your side, if she's of lead it will be classed as out of control, although so was the Hamilton accies. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know mate, trouble is she's not a working dog, so if she wasn't let off the lead in the park, she'd only ever get lead exercise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I got so sick of this scenario that I bought one of those extending leads - a heavy duty one, goes out to about 25ft I think, and holds our Mastiff X. (Obviously, I also carry a fixed lead for when she's on pavements.) Might not suit everyone, but at nearly 40kg, she's not really one for running ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,121 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Is it a greyhound? Aye, Is it a whippet? Aye, Is it a dog or bitch? Aye Does it bite? Aye Aye to everything!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brewman 1,192 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 +1 for ridgebacks , I had mine on a lead when he was about 8 months old and some dickhead with a large german shepherd loose that came running for us growling and snapping when the r,back turned into the devil. The gs got a fierce fright and the owner (prick) walked off quickly. He was your average tool using the dog as a cock extension that was now a bit limp. I would have ripped him a new one but was taken aback at my dog's reaction to the much bigger Gs. Ridgebacks = top dogs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 8,121 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Remember just had my old bitch out years ago, off lead, had one of them ball throwers out, in the distance there was two jakies with a staff x thing also off lead, I could hear one shouting something but had to stop and listen. "Get your dog on a lead or my dog will attack it!!" So I did And with that I could see this thing coming in at a steady pace, it charged my bitch but she done a side step jumpy thing out the way and grabbed it by the lug and gave it a wee shake, it ran away back to owner and I continued walking along path and the two were still standing there saying something in the jakey tone that they've got, I just whacked the mouthiest one across the puss with the thrower thing and told him to get his f***ing dog under control, if anything I felt sorry for their dog. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
