Rotweilers, dobermans, and pit bulls, OH MY!!

[notyoueither]

Strange timing. We have had several dog attacks child incidents in the past 10 days here. All the same breed. Akita (sp?).

[Spiffor]

Those are interesting suggestions Pekka. Especially the last one

[Pekka]

As for credentials, I've been attacked by a former police dog, and I ran away (in my fathers friends yard, so no I wasn't doing anything illegal) because it charged me like a bull and I thought I'd make it out of its range (it was on leash), but those are some fast animals if they start raging. It got my ancle, and downed me in second and started chewing my thigh. Don't make the same mistake, it hurts like hell because rarely they let go even when the owner comes raging and getting the dog away from you. They are in kill mode, they won't have any sympathy for you, so you shouldn't have either. Kill the bastard with a hard kick to its stomach. Or you end up in the dogs stomach.

If you get downed, don't scream like a little girl. Go 'GRRRRRRGRRRRRR!' like a big testosterone man, because at least that way they'll remember you as fighting warrior and not little girl.

Spiffor, well the dog owner is responsible. If the dog attacks, the owner IS responsible. If the dog is outside without any restriction, and it attacks, it's the owners fault. If some dog comes and bites my nuts off because the owner is inside looking spring break girls gone wild and zipping beer when I can't ever enjoy those videos again because of the owner, I'll be sure to slap them around and steal their ****!

Besides, if they attack you without you doing anything, they just went nuts and have to be put to sleep anyway. You are doing the owner a favour by doing it for free.
They don't understand when you say 'stop, it hurts!' They won't STOP. They're raging animals at that point and they won't have any sympathy for you. Listen, it's very simple. It's you or the dog at that point. When they see the blood, they go like 'Wuf! This is what I was supposed to do, this is what I'm made for yeahh lets eat this human!'. Don't let it happen. Besides, I'm a dog lover and I love dogs, so this is not some psycho ranting about wanting to kill dogs. This is clear self defense and if it attacks, you better take the dog out cold.

One of the incidents, the dog ripped into a 15 year old girl's face, right in front of the owner.

[Spiffor]

I am a dog hater and I wholeheartedly agree with you. When in killer mode, the beast will not let go, that's obvious.

I often figured how to defend myself in the case of a dog attack. The only possible answer was utter ruthlessness (and possibly some cruelty over the corpse, to get the stress out).

But I was never fond of making justice myself past self defense. You can be sure I'd bring the police and I'll sue the sucker the eyes out of their orbits.

[Pekka]

Also dogs ears are very sensitive to them. So you can think about ripping them if you're down and it's on your face. Put the other arm in front of you, so it'll start biting it, and with your other hand rip the ear off, at the same time standing up, because it will be in horrible pains and might let go of your arm, now it's the time for the penalty kick. Dogs kill people everyday, so you better make sure you're not going down easy.

[Pekka]

That's exaclty what I mean! It doesn't matter if the owner is there, if it attacks you, it won't stop! THe dog will be eliminated anyway after the attack, so it's about how much damage you will take. I suggest you take minimum damage.

Spiffor, and yeah, it's difficult to fight with a dog, but it's good to know that try to protect your nuts, face and neck/throat, because those are your sore spots, and the dog will go for them all when given the opportunity. Small dogs are easier to kick, but bigger dogs man that's a tough one, you get in trouble for sure. Then just be animal yourself, rip it's face and go for the stomach.

And that's why you fix your shirt arabian style to have it working like a mask when you kick the owners butt, if the owner is inside house. Then you sue afterwards anyway and deny everything.

For some reason Akitas like to go for the face.

[Sikander]

Another thing to keep in mind regarding dogs is that they are much weaker when they are in the air than when they are on the ground. If you can get ahold of their collar with one hand, throw the other under their belly and lift them into the air. They are very weak here. Now you can either stuff them into a garbage can, throw them off of a bridge or break their back by slamming them down on something hard, like your knee if necessary. Any dog not completely crazed with blood lust will succumb to a body slam, especially when you follow up with a series of hard kicks to the abdomen. Crazy dogs will probably require the back breaking throw, or a savage coup de grace after the body slam.

No dog breed is inherently dangerous. One of my aunts breed a rotweiler with a standard Doberman..the resulting animals were beautiful..imagine a rotweiler whose features have been elongated and made sleeker. She had this b1tch in her far, and at under 1 year of age the dog was already over 100lbs. She was also incredably sweet and playfull (though at that size, it can easily push someone down).

If a dog is danagerous, it is the fault of the owner, not the dog. These dogs are inherently guard dogs of a specific group they come to trust..it is that characteristic that people can warp..but people are still necessary to do the warping. The dangerous breed here is man; the dogs only get abused.

[Arrian]

It mostly comes down to the owner.

My next door neighbor has a Doberman - Tasha. Tasha isn't what I'd call outgoing & affectionate, but neither is she scary or aggressive. There are tons of kids in the immediate area, and she roams freely amongst them. The only time I've ever seen her get the slightest bit agitated is when I was taking care of my friend's Labrador puppy (Gus) and Gus jumped on Tasha's head (Gus thinks that's a good way to say "Hi! Can I be your friend?!?!"). Three words from Tasha's owner ("Tasha - go home!") ended the encounter.

Having said all that, gimme the Golden or Black Lab any day. Even if they jump on your head to say hi.

Its not the breed of dog that matters (although obviously a large breed is potentially more dangerous than a small one) it's the attitude of the morons who abuse the dogs to the point where they become psychotic/vicious.

[MrFun]

Look, I know it ultimately rests with the owner in regards to the temperament of their dog.

BUT, certain breeds, such as ones I mentioned, are POTENTIALLY more dangerous than others.

[Arrian]

Sure. And certain people (say, big ones) are POTENTIALLY more dangerous than others. But let's not ban them, ok?

Not the best analogy, I admit. But as a dog lover, I have to counter the wacko extreme hysteria about vicious dogs in this thread. And I don't even really like Dobs, Rotts, or PBs.
