My lurcher got attack by a Jack Russel about 3 years ago £250 pound vets bill to get my dog stitched up and antibiotics. My dog got the f**king thing by the neck in his mouth when he realised what was going on, lucky for the other dog he released it when I told him to leave. The other owner was a mouthy get but I not so politly told him to go away with his dog before he got hurt and I released my dog too finish what his rat had started. I might add he's as daft as a brush with people, but doesn't trust most other dogs.

I'd rather stick a knife into a dogs throat than my hand, it's not rocket science.

My father was a vet. Aged about 10 the Border Terrier of my childhood got set on while dozing in our front garden by a Boxer outwith the control of its owner. Within seconds there was a terrific howling as he had the Boxer by its hind leg and wasn’t for letting go. The Boxer made minimal impression on him.
Suffice to get the dogs are prised apart and Boxer has a bit of a rip in its leg. Dad looked at the dog and pretty unrepentant owner and just said, “You need to see a vet.” He could be very soft hearted but he had a thing about uncontrolled and aggressive dogs. I think I get my social skills from him. What?

Lilly was attacked on the park today by another dog ☹
View attachment 6378
That's the result of one quick bite from a Staffie.
She was on her lead but the Staffie wasn't.
According to its owner (a lady in her 50's) it's never done such a thing before.
That's no consolation for poor old Lilly. But the Staffies owner did volunteer her contact details & popped around later with £86 for the vet bill.
She also said she'll keep her dog on its lead from now on.
None of that is ideal for all concerned. But at least she put her hands up to it, apologised profusely & enquired about Lilly's welfare when she popped around with the money.

Amazingly Lilly didn't yelp when she was bitten. And I didn't spot the blood until 5 mins later. Then realised it was a fairly deep cut. She's 15 in a few months, & very wobbly on her back legs. So she really doesn't need this kinda shit from younger dogs

Down here in the west country the amount of irresponsible people who walk their dogs off lead is beyond comprehension!
Ive had a few altercations whilst walking mine, and my right boot normally comes into play.
At least the offending dog/owner was responsible and had the decency to pay for the vets treatment!

Hope Lily is OK and doesn't suffer doggie PTSD

I hope Lilly is ok DD.

I've experienced this from both sides, having had my dogs attacked by others, and from one of my dogs having a go at another. My experience of Staffies is that they usually start out sociable with other dogs, but aggression from other dogs will change their behavior, and they remember specific dogs or breeds.

My first staffie was fine with other dogs until he was about 5 years old, but that started to change when on a walk a lady started to make a fuss of him, and he rolled over for tummy tickles, but her German Shepherd maybe got jealous and started having a go at my staffie. That was followed with 2 occurances of a neighbors four dogs (all off lead) having a go at mine. Then within a couple of weeks I was walking past a farm with my Lab and Staffie (both on lead), and a yellow Lab almost identical to mine came running out of the farm and attacked my Lab, I tried to get the fucking thing off my dog and got my hand and knee quite badly bitten by the attacking Lab (I still have the scars). Anyway after all that my Staffie would not tollerate any dog within about 10 feet of him.



My current Staffie cross, showed no problems with other dogs, and I always keep him on a lead because of his looks, but he was like a magnet for all the fucking yappie little spaniels and terriers. On one occasion my dog was by my side, and a spaniel came running over barking and had a go at him, so my dog grabs the spaniel by the snout and just holds it, he let it go fairly quickly when I told him to, but the owners of the spaniel tried to blame me for the incident and were hysterical Following this and more instances of aggression from other dogs, it has now made my dog to always be on guard when another dog approaches, although he only shows any signs of aggression when we pass two other specific dogs (a German Shepherd and a Weimaraner) both of which acted aggresively towards him on several occasions.

My wee Westie was a rescue dog and he had a go at a couple of people shortly after I got him. I always kept him on the lead and told people not to get too close as he was liable to bite and he would get quite aggressive when people approached. Some years ago though I realised that what was really going on was that I would tense when people came into sight because I was expecting him to go for them and he was going for them because I was going tense and putting him on his guard. Since I realised that and learned to keep relaxed he has stopped chewing people.

I hope Lilly is ok DD.

Thanks for asking mate but she seems absolutely fine.
She wasn't bothered at the time & showed no signs of having been bitten other than the wound itself.

In my experience bull breeds are tough cookies & they enjoy rough play. Therefore when they are attacked it takes a good few seconds for them to realise it isn't a game. Unfortunately at Lillys age, those few seconds could mean the difference between her being able to fight back once the penny drops.
Hence the reason I'll often put the boot into the other dog for her. I didn't have to yesterday cos getting between her & the Staffie & yelling at it to back off worked.

When we had Dozer the two of them used to play fight & really go for it. I've had many conversations with people along the lines of...

"Aren't you gonna break them up?!? "

"Nah, anything less than a 1/4 pint of blood & they're still playing "

Dozer was a class act when he was attacked by other dogs. Thankfully he never fought back, cos if he did it would have got very messy indeed. He'd just stand there as much as to say "is that all you've got?"

A classic example was when some people we see over the park got a male chihuahua to go with the female they'd had for years.
Dozer used to flirt with the female & I guess he thought of it as his chick.
The first time we saw the owners with the male it was seriously unimpressed with Dozers advances towards the female.
It jumped up, latched onto the side of Dozers face & was shaking its entire body (the force of which barely moved Dozers head)
It eventually let go & dropped to the ground in front of him.
He could have easily bitten it in half. Instead he bent down & licked it.
The owners of the chihuahuas were cacking themselves. I was laughing & smiling with fatherly pride at what a gentleman Dozer was

BB3 What would you do if the owner intervened with the you holding a knife? If you carry a knife your prepared to use it. Or are you?

Or am I what?

In the years I've had dogs I've never carried, its only recently I've started due to the dognapping and we have two dogs that are high on the list.

Would I use it on someone trying to nick my dogs, damn right, no hesitation. Would I use it to kill another dog, if it was the last resort, yes, no hesitation. If the owner intervened, is what it is, my family comes first.

They don't call him 'Johnny Blade' for nuthin'! Bonus point for naming the rather excellent band.

Not exactly like listening to Erasure are they lol

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

I carry a blade just in case. Not arsed if the owner gets it as well. Family is family 2 or 4 legs, each is the same.

Carrying any weapon is perfectly acceptable as far as I'm concerned..
I know enough people that may still be here today had they carried something..
I also know enough women that may have stood a better chance and not had their lives totally destroyed had they been Carrying and had the proper training to back it up...

Can I respectfully remind yourself & G I Joe/Rambo (aka BB3Lions)
That this started out as my dog being bitten.
It's rapidly turned into a remake of Max Max meets Law Abiding Citizen

Im not allowed out in public with my girls for the same reason ... I don't trust people and suspect everyone is a potential killer mugger or rapist...Im ready to go at the slightest show of aggression and the girls definitely pick up on it and react even before I do...Hence im banned..I do like taking them in the secure field at mine and its great that when someone walks or drives down the lane the girls can't get them...They will dart across the field stand up against the wall go woof woof woof and let people know you don't come in here..
To be honest I like it cos word gets around the property is secure..
As my old mate used to say " who cares who lives or dies as long as the perimeter is clear '..That stayed with me forever and served me well..

Think what happened to your Lilly has brought out normal feelings for what are our family, our special little 4 legged kids.
I've now resorted to dog walking my local area in my blade costume, sword and everything you never know do you!

Oh yeah, I forgot about you being psychotic as well Pete

Ok..
R3Pete = Blade (complete with sword etc)
BB3Lions = Rambo/G I Joe's b@stard love child (that should serve as a warning to never get drunk during a special ops mission )
Bad Luck Duck = Murdock from the A-Team (not particularly scary, until you speak to him )
