Bull Mastiffs can be extremely vicious and they are one of the most dangerous breeds due to their agressiveness and size. There have been a number of cases where people have been mauled to death by Bull Mastiffs. There is absolutely no need for anyone to own a dog like this except as a sop tp their own ego. I wouldnt have hesitated either.

Utter garbage.

there are a few breeds of dog who should be banned.
Some area do ban them
insecure people own such dogs.

bobby - don't try to shove your dog loving nonsense down my throat.
Quite a few dogs should be killed asap.

Some people just aren't that interested in dogs. If they were - we wouldn't be putting down half a million or so each year.

I believe a pet is for life. As dog attacks seem to be on the increase I think we should be more discerning about the type of dog we have as a pet. It's not all about how it's raised. Some dogs have been subject to horrific abuse and they still remain friendly - others have been coddled and trained, but can still make an unpredictable attack.

It is often the DNA in a dog that creates certain behaviour.

We should look at the scenario that if our dog attacked someone - how much damage would they inflict? Will their jaws lock or will it just be a nip or a sharp bite when it's under stress and could they kill a child?

well I don't know about that mantra ... '

ook at the scenario where...? '

That is .. an 'after the horse has bolted'..'after the child is bitten' scenario.

I believe in prevention, not mopping up afterwards.

HEY.. it is a serious responsibility to own a large dog... it isn't EASY...
and there are many times too many feral humans who laugh at the thought... until it gets shoved in their faces.. I 've had my share of neighbourhood dispute over dogs..

Lots of PEOPLE should be banned from owning dogs. of any size.

I've had disputes too. I had the most beautiful belgian shepherd cross mountain dog. He was enormous, but he was under my control all the time. If I went out - he stayed inside.

A lot of people were terrified of him and he could come across as very aggressive, but he never bit anyone thank goodness.

Still I had a few complaints and never left him alone in the backyard at night in case someone poisoned him.

The Malinois is a sleek looking dog. Mine was black with a long coat.

I couldn't take on a mature dog. It would be difficult to predict it's nature if you didn't know it's background, but I admire people who do adopt them - otherwise they'd end up euthanised.

it wasn't an easy decision... there were other dogs.. other pounds.. I didn't want another puppy.. I didn't choose a dog the first visit.. (to 3 different Pounds)
but there was something about her... when I left the area the first time.. she was in a doggy paddock.. her ears drooped.
(SHE was considered a good dog by the animal welfare people.. she had been there 40 days already.. she was micro-chipped.. but they said they'd had no response to their contact efforts.)

She is the sweetest, but fiercest .. she has been abused.. she cannot handle any type of caring attention.. eg.. giving her her medicine monthly is a trauma for her.. trying to check her feet, when she seems to be limping.. is a trauma...
she does trust me to check her ears... now.. just..
it is ... sad.. but
I do not regret the decision.. I can tell a lot from her behaviour, about her background...

and I know she is better here with me.

Administering medication can be problematic no matter what the animal's background.

If she trusts you then you've made progress Emma. Dogs who have been traumatised appear to recover more quickly when they're in a home with undivided attention and no distractions like noisy children or other pets.

Still there is a risk, but you seem to be managing her well. That's a nice story.
