Raider 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Was sitting in the house watching the T.V when I heard this terrible howling and growling outside, raced out and 2 alsations had my 9 year old lab and were giving her a proper hammering I ran towards them and 1 backed of but the other 1 kept going. I started battering them both and booting them but the fuckers wouldnt stop and kept trying to get at my dog, I was starting to panick they would kill her when next thing my 3year old GWP waded in and started dishing it out . So now theres me, my lab and my GWP having a full on scrap in my garden with 2 alsations, eventually they jumped the fence and ran across the fields (yes I live in the country and have no idea where they came from) Took the Lab to the vet and nothing seriously wrong just few scrapes and seriously shook up. I have never been so proud of a dog "mans best friend" indeed, there I was back against the wall and starting to panick when my dog came to the rescue, without fear getting stuck in with 2 huge fuckers the whole event was only 6-7 mins but felt alot longer The gards are gona get the dog warden out first thing to see if he can pick them up. Hope no one bumps into them tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff.C 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Wow,frightening Raider. So glad your dogs are ok. I am a fan of Alsatians, had them for years,although don't have one now. They are superb dogs if brought up and trained right. We never had any problems with ours, they could be trusted with any small animals,babies etc. Sounds like these two may have been "junk yard dogs" who had got out. Hope they get caught. Blame the bloody owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest world.hunters Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) glad it wasnt any worse mate. well done the GWP, if i was in the same situation i could kill if it was my dog. and luckily you didnt get hurt aswell mate, hopefully you wont see them again. geoff sounds correct i also have a GSD and even though she is very protective she wouldnt go out on the rampage, it reminds me of a video i once seen, a parking lot kept getting broke into so they got 2 GSD then one night 2 blokes jumped the wall and these gsd went strait in for the kill one bloke ran off while the 2 dogs proceded to kill the man!!!!

Guest baldie Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Some townie twat moved in near to our hunt kennels, with a pair of gsd,s and used to turn them loose in a morning, and go to work. They killed 28 sheep one morning, until the farmer and his brothers turned up with a deer rifle, and several shotguns. It wasn,t pretty. neither was it pretty when they returned the dogs, to the owner, with a bill for the sheep, and a bill from the kennels for incineration of said sheep. He moved.

Raider 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yea it was quite frightening bit shook myself. Was talking to my dad and he thinks he knows who owns them and if they are the same dogs then they are guard dogs that got loose, local farmer has them for watching his sheds and tractors. Now I think of it they would have been heading that direction when they ran away. Might get my dad to have a word with him as hes a sound enough fella instead of reporting him? Although if they had attacked an old persons dog or a horse and rider things could have been worse. Not sure what to do now The GWP is sleeping infront of the fire as if nothing happend and the labs in the utility room licking her wounds, feeling sorry for herself not too bad considering how it could have finished up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest john2007oliver Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Sorry to hear about your poor lab - sounds hairy.I've got a G.S.D. and he's the best dog I ever had. He's the second one I've owned and Im a big fan of the breed. I trust him more than one should ever trust a dog. Everyone who owns one loves em and everyone else hates em Don't like the nasty little fuckers myself, theres a pair in my road and i blame them for making my staff aggressive with other dogs. Constantly, going mad at the gate at her when i walked past and on a couple of occasions getting lose on her. Needless to say they got more bark for her than bite now shes grown up. And before anyone says it there was noway i could not walk past, theres only one way in and out of my road. Now i can't walk her off the lead in public. She is sound as a pound with any dogs belonging to mates or my own, so much so i leave her in the back with a pup from the day it was 7 weeks old. I don't think i've come across an GSD that i could get along with. A few months back one gripped my mates arm for trying to stop it having its way with his dog. It got booted about by 3 lads with wellys on but still it only backed of just out off reach, was still waiting to come back for more. Not discrediting the breed, but guard dogs on a whole are bred to be human aggressive, yet its still the bullys which get the bad name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 He moved. Pity the prick (brit) who lives down the road from me didn't / won't. Typical idiot; Kept a pair of GSD's in his front ~ along with video cameras, junk motors and stolen building materials. I got bitten, just trying to ride past on my push bike. Out they came and Yunk! Neighbours wife got a bite; Stupid woman presumed to walk down the public road which passes outside his property. What Did we have in our heads?! Led to me adopting another route into town, adding miles and ages to each journey. He was told about all this, of course. Still swore each new incident was an anomaly and that they never left his property. That probably being how I personally tracked the b*stards two miles away from his place. Then, earlier this year, the inevitable happened. Thousands of pounds worth of dozens of sheep. We're rid of the bloody things now. If only they could find enough reason to put him down too. And yes; I've had GSD's. Nice Dogs. Sadly, the one Ban no one's brought in yet is the one on knuckle dragging retards keeping Any sort of Dog! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Personally I really like GSDs: and I'll always remember what an old trainer said to me many years ago: there's nothing better than a good one, and nothing worse than a bad one. Far too many GSDs are bred with no steadiness of temperament in mind, and even more are sold to the type of 'creatures' Ditch referred to. They are super intelligent animals and without the right training and guidance go wrong all too easily. I had a GSD many years ago when I ran a pub/hotel. This dog was brought up in the pub, he knew when opening hours were, and knew every guest that was allowed to the hotel rooms. It was his self appointed job to make sure no one but guests and employees went upstairs: if he found someone, usually a little the worse for the drink, trying to roam where he shouldn't LOL he would just take that person very gently by the hand and lead tham back to the bar room! Nobody argued with the dog! At chucking out time if there was anyone who didn't want to leave the dog would simply stand in front of them and stare at them very hard, then give a low growly bark if they still didn't move: they soon got the message. I never once saw this dog behave in an agressive manner to anyone at all, and if a child fell over in the beer garden and started crying he would go over to it and comfort it, even allowing a toddler to pull herself to her feet by his ears on one occasion. this dog had never been trained formally, but he had absorbed the rules and way of life in the place and was always on hand to help or just oversee things without being asked or told to. I found this site a while back and it is fascinating to read just what these dogs are capable of in the right hands and with the opportunity to use their considerable brain powerwww.geocities.com/heartland/ranch/5093/ - 12k I can't seem to get this link to work: anyone help please?

Forgot to say - they were bred to originally protect flocks of sheep from wolves... As there name would imply, but since then they have been bred to be more and more human aggressive, i am not saying there bad dogs, there good at what they do, but more care should be taken when people go and pick up " a cute little puppy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Most shepherds in this country are bred for the pet or show market with conformation or temperament in mind. Pets with a bad attitude occasionally crop up as with any breed, as for show dogs, the conformation is far from ideal where work is concerned but dogs with a bad tempearament wouldn't last long with strangers pulling them about week in week out. The only dogs bred purposefully for manwork are dogs from sport/working lines and dogs that don't display a sound character are culled.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
