Dangerous dogs with children

Might I not just as easily say that you've been hellbent on challenging mine? And yet I have managed to express my self succinctly and without insulting you or dismissing your opinions as "stupid."



So now you object to my smiliey use? They're available to use for a reason - to make clear meaning when something might be misinterpreted, as type often can be.



If you can point me to any occasion on which I have bullied you, feel free to report my post to a Moderator and I will apologise unreservedly. However, if you define "bullying" as someone expressing a different opinion to you, then I would hazard a suggestion that a public forum might not be the best place for you.

You're very keen to tell us all that you're entitled to your opinion, and yet anyone holding a different view seems to offend you greatly to the point where you consider it "bullying."

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go and walk my dogs.

It is not because you hold different views, it is because you came on this thread and challenged every post I've made, asking for evidence of this and that and going on about your own dog. Your winking smilies at the end of your posts are definitely sarcasm. That's right you attend to your dogs instead of 'jumping' on peoples comments. I can't be bothered with your attitude and life's too short to be arguing with you. Perhaps we should gracefully ignore eachother in the future because that is what I intend to do!

I have never said that my only knowledge of the dogs is through the media, I have never owned one but my husband has many years ago and I know people who have had that breed of dog.

I am not a brain surgeon but my sisters husbands brothers wife once dated a plastic surgeon so I guess I could operate on a brain quite safely

Surely attacks by smaller dogs don't get reported because the dogs can't cause as bad injuries so it's not as sensational? I've never seen "Postman Nipped By Poodle" as a headline.

Also, the type of person who can't be bothered to train a dog properly is more likely to get a "hard" breed and not a tiny cute breed.

There's no need for comments like this, I put that response because she thought my knowledge of Staffies was strictly confined to the media. I never claimed to know all about them, just said that I personally would not own one where children were as there would always be a chance the dog could snap. There always has to be someone that wants to keep an argument going , sorry to disappoint Suki1964 but its over.

I have an English cocker spaniel and we all know how cute they are dont we? Huge floppy ears, big doleful eyes, long fluffy coats, huge long tongue - just begging petting and cuddling and bows and cuteness.:heart2::heart2:

He can be the most savage animal on four legs if hes provoked enough by another entire male dog.:eek: And yes it was hard work prising his teeth off a bull mastiff he attacked and caused quite considerable damage to considering the imbalance of size and weight of both dogs.

Now my dogs breed isn't known to the media as being viscous but Im not the only spaniel owner who will say their dog can be bloody nasty at times AS CAN ALL DOGS REGARDLESS OF BREED

I'm not entirely sure that this is true.

Everyone I know who has a 'hard' dog, be that staffie, Bully, Rottie, GSD, whatever, has their dogs VERY well trained. Yet, you go to the park with the dog and it's the little ones that are running riot and approaching other dogs and people willy nilly. Several times my dog has been jumped at by a tiny breed (thinking between chihuahua/westie sort of size). These dogs have been in her face, and have been agressive more than once. Yet the owners scowl at MY dog (bull terrier) and call her vicious LOL. She has never so much as snarled back! Get your dog under control!

Well Im not usually one to keep an argument going but you really are coming over as a bit of a tit and to keep arguing a point when you have absolutely no experience of dog ownership is to my mind a tad stoopid. Esp when you can not back any of your argument up with facts and figures

Can't be bothered to argue with you, reporting your abuse, calling me a tit is bag out of order and shows your limited communication skills.

P.S If you're going to call someone stupid, at least spell it properly!

Is tit a bad word now?

You blatantly want an argument, find one elsewhere! Your type normally does! Refuse to answer any more of your posts. Have a nice life!
