Animal control is on its way...Update post 73...

[ihvpower]

The fastest way to get this thread closed is to make it a breed argument. Size and tenacity are what determines the injury of a bite. If my Lhasa Apso bites anybody, their injury will be no more than a row of pink spots, and the medical costs will not exceed the price of a band aid. A larger or more powerful dog can do a lot more damage. That's why the little guys aren't reported as often. They bite, but the damage is usually (but not always) minimal. This isn't a breed argument. A good dog is a good dog. Bad dogs are owned by bad dog owners. If somebody doesn't contain their dog and their kids are crying because it got shot, the blame is with their parents, not the person protecting their animals. People that don't contain their predator pets put other animal owners in the terrible situation of having to decide which pet gets to live. Personally, I wish that irresponsible people would rehome or shoot their own dogs instead of forcing it on others. If somebody has a dog that they can't contain, they either have chosen the wrong dog or they shouldn't be a dog owner.

I don't know about your Lhaso but when my Chihuahua bites, he draws BLOOD!

I think your Lhaso Apso is not really biting.....more of a warning.​

That was just an example. He doesn't bite, warning or real.

Let's not make this a breed discussion. I don't want to have to get into this.

mvktr2 has good and correct points and leave it at that.

How about a shotgun and no apologies? Cujo has gotten enough slack.

That would be my solution. It would be a permanent one too.

I agree. Make a final solution so you don't have to worry about it anymore.

@ CamelotFarms: How have things been going since your last post?

These dog threads are pure poison. I have found out that rude, insensative, self centered people have dogs that are just like them.

If you shoot the dog, they will probably just go get another just like it or worse. You need to modify the behaviour of the owner to modify the behaviour of the dog.

Use the dog's nature to your advantage. Leave a very dead animal out for it to roll in. The riper, the better. I can guarantee you he will roll in it. Even the fanciest dog cannot resist this.

After the owner has to bathe his mutt a couple of times, he will begin to control it's roaming. Hopefully, rover will make it to his new sofa or bed before the problem is detected.

Good luck,

Rufus
