Hi John

Sorry that Bandit got injured he's a real nice dog a bit of a softy, a lot of the agresion in dogs I feel comes from their owners, I've had a few dogs in my time and all of them were gentle non agresive animals.

Cheers

Postmen, especially in the summer when they wear shorts, he can lick their knees quicker.



But on a more sombre note.

The owner is one of those macho types that thinks his dogs are an extension of his personality.

But in all fairness, his dogs are very well trained when out and about, and are perfect when out with his wife on a lead, they don't pull and obey their commands religiously. I occasionally see them when I take Bandit for a walk, and there has never been any sort of aggression before.

It just seems that the younger male one has a liking for eating small dogs when the owners aren't about.

He was very apologetic, and everyone has been reassured that it will not happen again, as he is redesigning his garden railing area where the dogs are kept.

The dog warden has promised that strict controls will be put on his installation.

In the light of the situation, I have decided to take no further action against the offending animal, on the understanding that if anything like this ever happens again, it will be for the chop.

Glad to here that everything is going to be ok. Dogs do what the owner lets them get away with. It is to bad that the dogs are sometimes punished for what they do rather than the owners being put down. We have a couple in the neighborhood, that need to be neutered and or put down (owners that is)  :wack:

Sorry to hear about Bandit John, hope he solders on to a full recovery.

I personally feel that many dogs are not suitable as pets. I'm not talking breeds here, more the individual dogs themselves.

It's interesting that a farmer may shoot several sheep dogs before he finds one to keep. This of course is not something pet owners tend to do and as a result we are left with some problems. I could go on, I love dogs but it's hard to find a good one.

I am sure he will make a full recovery, this sort of breed are hard as nails.

It is funny people should mention about how a dog is brought up and trained.

When we first had him, the vet told us to beat him with a newspaper if any bad tendancies showed. I only had to tap him the once, then after that, just showing him a rolled up newspaper did the job. And as anyone who has ever met Bandit will testify to, he has none of the aggressive traits that are associated with Jack Russells, unless I tell him he can play at it, but then he stops as soon as I say enough. But some of his inbuilt traits do show at times, like when the cat brings home a live mouse, five seconds later, goodbye mouse.

Good training is the secret in keeping good dogs.

John
