What does SSDD mean???

Impressed??

No, depressed.   If its not one thing its another.   I think I need a support group.

I am becoming really sick of the human race, more so that normal.   I watched the moon rise tonight and didn't feel a thing.

Good post stormhasit, I'm just tired of the everyday insanity.   We're all in deep doodoo and its only going to get worst.

I cannot see that this site has much bearing on anything worth looking at in a serious light

Personally i think it is the owners of most Dogs which are the most dangerous, not the Dogs themselves

Its the owners who dictate what a Dog will become by the management  and the way it is looked after,

And most times the Dog is more intelligent than the owners

That's a cool article.  Thanks for sharing. 

You should read the article.  The 10 top most dangerous breeds are brands of people.  It's a good read if you're interested.

Man, this is just dumb. More whinning about how animals are better than people. The fact is, some breeds have been bred specifically to inflect damage on people or other animals. These are the same clowns that say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people".

A good article with some excellent points. 

I'm with 4pack on this one.  It takes a person to purchase the gun, unlock the saftey, load the mag, and pull the trigger.  The gun that does that all by itself would be really kind of nifty....kind of like the knives that jump into the air and stabb you.

"The fact is, some breeds have been bred specifically to inflect damage on people or other animals."

I thought I would address this statement - so the dogs selected and bred themselves so they could be more aggressive and inflict more damage?  Gee - I thought it was people that did the selection and the breeding. 

And it makes me wonder how fewer aggressive dogs we would have if the bad breeders wouldnt breed dogs with crummy temperments...sure you'll get a few...but it wouldnt be nearly the same number.

Acknowledging that the breeder or owner (or both) did a crappy job does not make the animal any less dangerous. Did people create it? Sure. Is it the fault of the kid riding his bike down the street who gets mauled? Of course not. I am against BSA in every form, make no mistake, but not every dog is a sweet little cuddlebug and can be treated as such. How many of you have had to handle multiple dogs that genuinely wanted to hurt you?  I feel sorry for the dogs, sure, but my concern is first and formost the community as a whole, especially children.

And it makes me wonder how fewer aggressive dogs we would have if the bad breeders wouldnt breed dogs with crummy temperments...sure you'll get a few...but it wouldnt be nearly the same number.

Why does a dog have to have "crummy temperment" (temperAment) to be aggressive? This kind of thinking is detrimental in itself; the plight of the GSDs today is largely the fault of this logic. GSDs are SUPPOSED to have good aggression...as are a handful of other breeds that have been diliuted by the fat women in cheap flat shoes running around in circles.

The key is control. Control your animal. Confine it so it cannot hurt innocents (people OR animals). I can't let my dogs all interact and run around together; it would be a bloodbath. I assure you all that not one of them has poor temperament, or they would be, um,  no longer with us. However, I have had not one incident where one of my dogs got off my property and hurt an innocent animal or person. It is not a question of luck, or a question of aggression/lack of aggression. It's a simple matter of common sense and control.

The article is a great "turning of the tables" on the BSL morons. Instead of breeding wussified dogs for all the intellectually challenged pet "lovers" so that we have fewer aggressive dogs, why doesn't everyone just employ a tiny bit of common sense and learn how to handle the aggressive dogs they have, or stick to what they can handle? Why ruin good dogs for everyone with a brain? I will never understand this.

LOL! Thanks, 4pack. It shouldn't be novel thinking, though. It's simple logic.
