I know a woman that does some impressive training of dogs.

Agreed. But it is possible that the scent of blood brings out a more shark-like response. Not sexual, but hungry or aggressive.
If someone wants to commit a murder this looks like an excellent vehicle to do so. Careful planning would no doubt lower those odds of getting charged with anything serious.
Thanks for your time to put that info together.
Horrible. Love dogs but don’t trust pit bulls.
Well, in light of all the stats provided concerning this breed, it would seem that a public safety issue is at hand. Sorry. Love dogs all you want, but when any animal kills or maims, there’s more to the story.
What is your solution to the well documented skewed rate of attacks by this breed? Hmmm?
Personally, I’ve out grown my former feelings and thoughts about pets. But hey, its a free world, so the rule “your pet (you) has the a right until your pet (you) restricts another’s right as well” applies.
There are lots of them. She has some nice looking Malinois on her website. I have one, best dog of many I’ve had.
Okay, so I reread your post #108.
So education is what prevents a big, bad powerful dog from killing and dismembering/eating the victim? Yeah, I have a better idea- the deceased woman should have carried a fighting caliber handgun with her as she walked her “puppies”. That way she could have attempted to “educate” them as soon as they turned on her and before they bit off her face and tore out her throat....
Why do folks think that educating the owner would have made any difference? You can’t control such animals once they decide. No matter what you think, these attacks are barely containable even by folks with great physical strength and often (lethal) weapons.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not focusing on Pit Bulls- basically all dogs even little ones can be dangerous. Children are, as your articles support, most often the most at risk both because they do not understand aggressive behaviors and more importantly because they do not have the slightest chance to defend themselves.
To me, responsible pet ownership means 100% of time the animal must be under the owners’ control or else they are a menace and a risk to the safety and peace of others.
Still, I see no solution in your post. The only thing of merit in this sad situation is the dogs did not kill some innocent third party.
Should have had Dachshunds....
Haha! Our mini dach is old and cranky, and will try to bite me or my husband at times. Charges the front door if any visitor comes in without us opening the door, jumps at them and bites them. He’s absolutely rotten at times. He’s 12 years old, and we’ve had him since he was 5 months old. I’m pretty sure the breeder ran a puppy mill. When my husband’s away, he has good toilet manners. When he comes back home after a few days away, he’ll pee in the house (the dog, not the husband). He wasn’t mean til he was about 4 or 5. My husband absolutely loves the little monster to pieces. Our other dog is a Shi Tzu, who was born to love and be loved. However, if the dachshund irritates her, a tiny little growl escapes her throat, and he backs off.
That’s the problem, they’re unpredictable.
