The breed of the dog had very little influence on behaviour but temperament did. The only exception generally was if the dog was guarding her pups. So having heard today that another little girls has been savaged to death by a dog it occurred to me that to greatly reduce savage dog attacks would be for all puppies to have their temperament tested and those that failed would be put down. Some breeds are of course bred for bad temperament and that would of course stop. It is quite often not successful in those breeds and quite often the opposite in those that are bred to to be docile that is why categorizing by breed is useless. A simple test for temperament I used when selecting a puppy to buy was to go among the puppies and clap very loudly any puppy that ran away and did not greet me with enthusiasm I did not buy (some of you no doubt will scratching your head as to how my test proved that the dog was potentially dangerous, it is because dangerous dogs are fundamentally nervous dogs and their savagery stems from that all though that may not be apparent later on). Not an infallible method but a better one I am sure could be devised. Putting down dogs like this may be some what extreme but I can think of no other method to tackle this growing problem. Initially I believe the dog population would be reduced below levels of demand but over time good temperament dogs would be bread faster than bad ones which appears to be the opposite of the norm these days.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-51330195746063780762013-11-05T16:10:30.833+00:002013-11-05T16:10:30.833+00:00Only his arm!

I don't recall the lbs-per-sq of a bull terrier's bite force but it can get near 'amputation'. <br /><br />I was once bitten by 'just' an Alsatian and it's teeth touched through my forearm.<br /><br />This was a "pentobarbital all round, Sister!" incident if ever there was one!<br />The Blocked Dwarfnoreply@blogger.com
