Yorkshire Lass - hope you feel better soon

Katy Ann - you poor thing. I feel your pain, my car is nearly 16 years old and feels like it is on the way out. Hope you can save for another

Horray! That was quick you must have made them feel right at home.
So the story I watched was about dogs who are 'suspected' to be Pitt bull. I know yours isn't. But just seeing the sadness of the owners reminded me of your recent loss. Apparently the police have seized 3000 dogs in this country to be on the safe side. And have held some of them up to 3 years so far...

How sad Seems daft to vilify one breed when problems are largely the fault of irresponsible owners. Unfortunately the various bull terrier breeds seem to be in favour at the moment with said owners :mad:

A few years ago the dogs homes were full of lurchers who were difficult to rehome because they had been trained to chase and kill small animals, now it is the bull breeds who (around here anyway) seem to be a status symbol for certain types of people, often either kept in small flats with small children and inadequate exercise and training, or encouraged to fight with other dogs I have noticed fewer recently, but suspect this is because said owners have got fed up with them and abandoned them rather than anything the police have done, or have been told by landlords that they cannot keep them due to neighbour complaints

There is a worrying tendency too for people to get puppies, and then get rid of them as soon as they grow out of the 'cute' stage
