my sister has an american bulldog (like mine) and she had it at the stables the other day, it wasnt on the lead as it doesnt go far, a woman was walking some type of small mongerel dog past the stable's and it wandered in next to the horses and started barking and spookin the horses, luca (my sisters dog) went for the mongerel and chased it out of the stables, the woman the other dog went hysterical and threw her fookin shoes at my sisters dog and it jumped up at her and knocked her over (it didnt go for her, he thougt she was playing), my sister got her dog and put it back in the yard and the woman got up and walked away, about an hour later two dog handling cops arrived and gave my sister a dangerous dog warning and said one more complaint and the dog would be took away and destroyed immideitly

 

to say she is livid is an understament, there isnt a nasty bone in the dogs body, he was only protecting the horses from the other dog, and this woman threw her fookin shoes at him, i think the cops were being a bit harsh as they didnt want to hear my sisters side of the story

 

i think the other woman should have had the warning for walking her dog without a lead

 

i think it fookin stinks that the cops came down so heavy handed, she is going to go and complain about it

Why doesnt she report the other womans dog? it started all the trouble!

she is going to

sorry but if the dog is likely to chase other dogs then it must be on a lead, i know its an american bulldog but the police may be classing it as a pitbull "type" dog which must be on a lead and muzzled at all times when out

 

was the other dog on a lead?

 

as your sisters dog also knocked over the woman i would consider the dog lucky that it didnt go further and make sure it cant happen again

 

We had a similar thing happen on the beach a few years ago, one of our boxers ran upto a small dog on a lead which started to scream in terror even though my dog couldnt fight its was out of a wet paper bag and the guy picked up a rock and was trying to hit mine so as you can imagine i wasnt too happy and grabbed the old guy by the scruff of the neck and warned him of his ways!! he exited the beach with dog and drive off!! i then got stopped on the way home by the police which when i explained what had actually happened thought it was quite funny LOL

the other dog wasnt on a lead, it went into my sisters stables and started barking at the horses, my sisters dog was in the yard and the woman then entered the yard shouting and screaming then threw her shoes at my sisters dog, it then jumoped up (as in to lick her face as it always does with my sister when playing) the woman fell back and over and my sister shouted of her dog and it went straight to her and sat by he side

 

it is not a dangerous dog, has never went for anyone its about as much a pitbull as your boxer dog is (which isnot at all)

Sorry but both owners to blame for not having either dog under control. You say your sisters dog doesn't have a bad bone but it's still a dog with natual instincts ;)

it was in the yard, are you saying it should be on a ead when in her own property, they entered her property and the mongerel started spookin the horses, would have been a different story if they horses bolted and kicked the woman, suppose it would be the horses fault then:rolleyes:

well she is as much to blame then as neither dog was under control but if anything the other woman had no right to let her dog onto private property!!

 

i know its not a dangerious dog all i meant was the police may have just lumped our types of dogs into the same bracket, stupid but its true.

 

if it was me i would call the police and complain that she trespassed and that her dog attacked the horses LOL

its not about blame its about control, unlike a cat a dog is the owners responsibility at all times whether on your own property or not so in the eyes of the law it needs to be on a lead, does the drive have a gate or someway of keeping other dogs (and old women) out?

yup, apperently the dog got under the gate and into the yard, the owner of the dog opened the gate to get to her dog

i would have shot her ass then :D

 

"she came at me with a walking stick, i feared for my life"

 

:rofl:

 

stick some meshing at the bottom of the gate, just protects your sister from it happening again, you know what old people are like, wouldnt suppise me if she didnt go past again just to cause trouble

she has already done that, i think it stinks that the police just handed her the notice and told her that the dog is to be destroyed if it hapens again, she would never let the dog go without a fight

 

the owner of the horse (a gypo lol) is furious as the horse jumped in the stable and cut its back leg somehow, he is going mad at the police and the way they handled it

In this day and age with all the reports of dogs attacking people if there is any sort of complaint about dangerous dogs then I think the Police are going to try and cover themselves by issuing a warning encase something else happens.

If another complaint was made about the dog then I do not believe that they would just take the dog away and have it destroyed, depending on the type of 2nd complaint then they might take the dog away and it would be looked after in kennels until a court decieded if it was to be destroyed.

From the look of it if another complaint was made and it was a similar type of incident then I dont think the dog would be taken away, but your sister might get taken to court and the courts would proberbly just put an order inplace stating the dog must be muzzled and on a lead at all times outside the home.

Definatly report this woman and her dog for

 

- not having her dog on a lead and not beign in control of her dog

- It harassing the horses

- trespassing

- Violent acts against your dog

 

Allowing a dog to enter other property and upset farm animals is pretty serious.

 

Your sister and her dog are in no way to blame, ofcourse you shouldn't have your own dog on a leash on your land FFS.

cheers mate, thats what i was thinking, from what ive just heard, this woman is in the neighbourhood watch scheme, basically a fookin snitch, alwasy complaining and involving the police

 

my sister is gonna put a complaint in against her

I agree you don't have your own dog on a lead on your property but you still have to be in control of it. The fact the Stella's sisters dog "went for" the other dog doesn't suggest control. If my dog bit someone who walked onto my drive, should I not be responsible?

 

I do agree the Police should do something about the other dog owner too as that dog was onviously not under control and I hope your Sister makes the Police do something about it. Unfortunelty it seams if your dog is deemed a dangerous dog, then that their is no gray area which I don't agree with :(

he only chased the dog to the gate, he didnt bite the dog nor did he initiate the altercation, he merely protected the stables and its animals after this dog entered the property unattended and started to attack the animals on the stables with its aggresive manner

 

the dog was under control as when ordered to heel, it did immediately and returned to its master

Some people don't have the common sense they were born with, we have a minature Staff which is NOT dog friendly but loves people, we always keep her on a lead when out because of this. We were out on the beach a while back and woman had her dog off the lead, her dog comes over and we try to move ours away (although we have 3) and tell her to call her dog away. Ours lunges at it and bites it, doesn't draw blood but the woman goes nuts and tells us to keep our dog under control! We tell her which way to go and point out it was our dog on the lead and hers off the lead!

 

Your sister needs to go in and make a statement detailing the facts and point she intruded and her dog wasn't under control.

i remember a few years back, my dad had his greyhounds out on the lead (he had 5 at the time) an elderly couple were walking up the road with their rottwheiler off the lead, my dad shouted to get the dog and they replied "its ok, he is a tough dog, they wont dare bother it", ten mins later their dog was nearly dead as it came over and went for one of the gryhounds, my dad had his rigger boots on and had to literally kick the greyhound in the ribs to get it off the rotty, they reported him and tried to do him for cruelty to animals, if he didnt kick the greyhound it would have killed the rotty, the police were on my dads side and fined the couple for havig the rotty of the lead in a public place and my dad got the bills repayed for the vets for the greyhound that it bit

 

some people shoudl really learn aboutdogs before getting one

We had a problem like this one. We have a dogue de bordeaux and one day we were having a barbecue when next doors nasty little jack russel came flying under our gate ripping off the mesh i had put there. It ran straight towards my baby daughter but before it could get there my dog picked it up in his mouth and threw it against the wall. My neighbour saw all this reported our dog and he is now a last warning. My dog never even barked, his fur didnt go up and he didn't even stand up. He was sitting near my daughter and just put his head down and picked him the other dog up lol.

 

All the police see is a big dog against a little dog. I'm a postman and from experience I can say that little dogs are far worse then big dogs, especiallyu when owned by old people. They dont discipline them and let them do as they please

I sympathise with your sister and I don't know whether or not you can be issued with a warning in the UK when the incident took place on private property, but unfortunately the onus is on the property holder to provide a duty of care to anybody entering their property be they invited in or tresspassing.
