"Pointers and Setters" published by Swan Hill. It's about the British working breeds.

A mate messaged me the other day full of excitement. Some 'stupid man' had given him a malinois. I'm afraid I burst his bubble by telling him that so many had seen how intelligent the dogs were and how much they could be trained to do by watching TV. But when they got the dog, they soon realised they are hyperactive with little bite inhibition and the rescues were full of them. I put it as gently as I could but he has not spoken to me since and his wife is complaining about all the walking she is having to give it to keep it reasonably sane.

Local Dog Handler has a young one.

Nice animal, but no way would I want one. VERY high maintenance and IMO, not suitable for the home environment it will be in at the end of a working day.... She needs to be on it from Day One for training and exercise etc.

Some people want certain breeds of dogs outlawed while others (sometimes even the same person) think it's every man's right to own a firearm.

Weird.

True but having a license gives the authorities some kind of control over them. What would you propose?

The sort of people who keep the more vicious and aggressive dogs are generally not the sort who would ever buy a dog licence anyway - total waste of time and money IMO; such a law would only observed by responsible owners.

Most members of society who think it’s hard and intimidating to own aggressive dogs tend not to respect the law or authority of any kind.
