Need to ban dogs I reckon. Or at least put a limit on how may a family can own. 1 per family I say.

I tragically had a family member killed by a dog when he was just 2 years old bless him and I still find myself not dealing with it very well when I think about him and it happened a couple of years ago now.

I love dogs, though, just hate people that can't control them. Mind you, the same can be said for human parents.

Absolutely same here: love dogs,but hate people who can't control their dogs. Also, I still have a bit of fear for dogs (when I was a child,a dog jumped at me and bit me)

Some big dog made a charge for my 6 year old daughter the other day. I wasn't there but my wife smothered my daughter to protect her and the dog stopped. I'm glad I wasn't there as I might've actually attacked the owner who, to be fair to him, was very apologetic but this dog was like a horse my wife said, my daughter would've been dead or horribly disfigured in half a second. I hope that owner makes some serious changes to how and where he walks that dog.

I am weary of staffies. Got bitten by one, not on an lead, and it drew blood and all the owners could say was "sorry" and carried on.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, I used to love Staffies (living in Staffordshire n all) but these days I avoid - as mentioned above the issue is dog owners rather than the dogs themselves,
Grew up knowing some lovely Staffies but the ones I see these days barely under control on a big chain leash while lunging at people walking past - no chance
If I see any sort of bull terrier when I'm walking my dog I just cross the road/get out of the way, it's not worth taking the risk whether they've been properly trained/socialised or not

Yeah, it's dickhead owners, rather than a Staffie trait

My dog has more issues with dogs that have small dog syndrome. Looks at them as if to say "Why's that squirrel barking at me".

Smaller dogs - especially ratters are far more likely to be dangerous than bigger dogs - they're just less damaging (but don't underestimate the damage they can do) and less "scary" to humans.
If a collie-sized dog had the attitude of a chihuahua it would be instantly on the banned breed list - let alone anything bigger with that attitude.

But humans are idiots

Also true! I got bitten by a small dachshund when I was a child (and must say I don't like dachshunds since then)

Mine is a border collie originally from Wales. Way to bright for his own good.

He's currently at home investing in crypto and offering house buying advice for 90% of Cardiff.

In reality he'll be at home living the dream on the sofa

A contrarian collie that barks in disagreement at your commands? Surprised you haven't trained it to collect litter in the park if it's bright.

@General Melchett you're terrible
