Why are we not given the racial profile of Kennel owner Judith Wykeham?

We demand to know!

I don't see any actual mention of the colour of the assailant, so you may be making a rash assumption

Rottweiler? Doesn't sound very British to me.

Is that a foreign dog? You never got dogs biting people's arms off before the flood gates opened. They should send them back.

The dangerous dogs act obviously does not go far enough. Other breeds should also be included. In addition any member of the public should be able to complain to the authorities to get a dog muzzled. Unfortunately this case is not an isolated one.

Without a shadow of a doubt Rotties should've been included in the prohibited breeds when they rushed through the Dangerous Dogs act of 1991.

The DDA was very class specific from a dog breed point of view; eg; the banned breeds were generally owned by the working class and criminals. I have no doubt that alot of rich people and politicians with large properties to protect own a few Rottweilers/Dobermanns etc as a part of boundary control.

Nothing the matter with rottwielers, only the owners I'm afraid, and it might interest you to know that you're hundreds times more likely to be bitten by a collie, labrador or jack russell.It's no good banning dogs, you need to inform people how to keep them properly.

Utter rubbish - the chances of being bitten by a Lab are tiny: Obnoxious, your post about Labs is simply wrongdiddlywrongwrong.

Labs are well known as being just about the most docile domestic breed there is.

The DDA rightly targeted the types of dogs owned by chavs (or pikeys as they were known back when the DDA was enacted), because these scum buckets always go for staffs etc (yes, yawn, I know staffs aren't covered by the DDA, but they bloody well should be, if nothing else because their scum owners warrant them being covered by the DDA).

How many people on this site can honestly say, hand on heart, they have not seen a skinny pasty weedy trackie clad POS not acting all 'hard' whilst being pulled along by a staff?

Ugly little sods as well. As are the dogs.

You'll be a lab owner then flip-flop;-)
My point was ( labs score as average in biting stakes actually a do rotts) that it really isn't the dogs in quesiton it's the owners who are not up to the job of training them correctly and keeping them in suitable circumstances where they are unlikely to become agressive.
Now please fell free to put your hair back on.

As said.

Treat a fluffy poodle like a rag doll and beat it, it will eventually turn.

Punish the owners and keepers of ill-tempered dogs, not the dogs.

Death to animal abusers.

Yep, I'll rein myself back in - had a very loooooong pub lunch today.

I completely agree, the owners should be looked at before the dogs (with some notable exceptions).

I am a Lab owner, and have had a number over the years - that said, I have met some extremely friendly Rotties in my time, there is one in particular where I walk my dogs who, without exagerration, must be 15 stone, and whenever he sees me rolls over for a stomach rub - great big huge pile of dopey dog.

Hmmmm, perhaps we should bring back licensing - in that prospective owners must prove themselves fit and responsible enough to own a dog!!!

Comments stand about Staff owners though.

I don't think licensing would work, only the responsible owners would license their dogs and the bad owners and chavs would let their dogs loose or disown them.Imagine a loosehead walking along with a staffie on a bit of rope and the authorities stopping him and asking him to produce his license, all he would say is "not my dog mate, just found it wandering the streets" The dog gets taken from him so he goes and gets another one.

My retriever-border collie cross could do more damage than some rotties, simply because she received some lousy treatment from her former owners.

The problem lies not with the breed, but with those who keep them because they look tough and who encourage them to behave the way they do (or who can't or won't be bothered to keep them responsibly).

Rotties were originally bred to guard sheep. They were defence and not attack dogs. You can't have attack dogs around sheep for obvious reasons. A responsibly kept rottie is usually a great big soft rottie.

And did you know, the British forces won't use rotties for security work because they don't tend to be aggressive enough.

Oh, and flip-flop - a work colleague was once attacked by a labrador - again because some s**thead hadn't bothered looking after it properly. The reason you are less likely to be attacked by one is only because they're less likely to be owned for their macho factor.

Get your facts straight ! The dog that bites people more than any other is the humble spaniel, they should all be destroyed !
