The guy from K9 magazine was on and spoke quite a lot of sense I thought. He had a beautiful 2yr old Rottie girl he has had her from 8 weeks and said she is lovely in temperament but he would and no body else should ever consider leaving your dog and children together.
He also felt we should have some sort of central data base system for dog owners like they do for taxing your car and if you fail to renew your license you are fined a couple of times if you persist the dog is removed the same as they fine and remove your car for not taxing it. Also there should be training on how to be a responsible owner. Think we have spoken about that on here and said educating people is the way to go.
Don't know if any of it will ever get done though.

The RSPCA have just issued a press release (Radio 5) about preventing owners `using dogs as weapons`. I assume they`re targeting the inner-city gangs etc. They are calling for more neutering / microchipping - although I don`t see how that will help. On a positive note, the interviewer was stressing `deed not breed`.

Why don't here have the same rules for dangerous dogs as America have, it would I think make people more responsible if they thought they would get in big dodo if there dog attacked,.
I think if i'm wrong correct me here!
Is it not if your dog attackes someone, it is your fault not the dogs and you get manslaughter charge, the poor dog still gets put to sleep but the owner is also charged.
