Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
I'm not sure why people are assuming the dog was protecting the kids/viewed grandma as an attacker. How do we know the dog didn't belong to the grandparents?

Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
How many people are helping you look after those thirteen large dogs? Curious to know what breeds they are. Thirteen Labradors wouldn't be much of an issue, but thirteen of a lot of other breeds could be asking for trouble, depending on the situation.

Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
Feel the need to correct a few things in this post of yours. Firstly, dogs most certainly can bite without warning. As a vet nurse, you should be familiar with such conditions as cognitive dysfunction due to geriatric disease, amyloidosis, CNS infections and parasitism, paradoxical excitement from certain types of medication, and the rare occasion of dogs who have impulse disinhibition that results in them spontaneously becoming aggressive and violent without any warning whatsoever, such as Rage syndrome, most commonly seen in Cocker Spaniels, but also in many other breeds as well. Most other dog breeds lack the tenacious inherent behaviour of pit-bull type breeds. Terrier-type breeds tend to be the most likely to attack relentlessly, preferring to maul (ie bite and hold/head shake). Shepherds, Akitas, and Golden Retrievers are more likely to bite once and back off, unless specifically trained to bite and hold, as most German Shepherds and Malinois used in police and military applications are trained to do. So whilst it's true that you'll see more bites in general from other breeds of dog, you'll seldom see the same degree of damage achieved by pit-bull types in general. But all that said, people who own any type of large-breed dog should have additional training (and frankly licensing) to own dogs that are particularly dangerous. I recently had clients who previously had a Golden Retriever, and thought for their second dog they'd get Maremma because "it looked the same". They had no clue about the typical behaviour of this breed, including high guarding instinct as a herd-protecting dog and the high tendency for aggression, not to mention the strict training required for it; thankfully, after sitting down with them for two hours straight and explaining to them everything to expect from the breed, they agreed to work in co-operation with an experienced trainer and behaviourist to help teach them how to handle and care for this dog. Frankly, certain breeds of dog should not be owned by certain people. Specifically, the ignorant, careless, mentally-challenged, or chavs/bogans/trailer-trash compensating for some deficit in their lives. |

Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
13 Labradors could easily be a lethal situation. They do get into fights with each other, just like other dogs. They also can be human aggressive, just like other dogs. Having any dog is a risk that needs an educated person to keep under control. Having 13 is a task that needs careful management. The pound is full of labs and lab mixes, because they are working(hunting) dogs that often are high energy(in need of a job) and people assume they'll be lazy house pets. They throw the young dogs away, when they get destructive and hyperactive. |

Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
I'm sorry but I agree you do not sound like someone with hands on daily, intimate knowledge and interactions with large dog breeds and particularly the Pit Bull. Most of what you say is just absolutely wrong. I know claiming you have professional experience may give you confidence to sound of erroneously but you are misleading and just plain old wrong! I hate to call you out on this but even a Wikipedia reader will find out you are a fraud, and I never offer the Wiki as a reliable force!
