    i know that the bull breeds do get picked on a lot,but its unfortunate that these powerful dogs fall into the wrong hands.we all know what fun loving family pets they make in the right homes with the right training,we also know the horrific outcome when they end up in the wrong homes with the wrong training,this is a very difficult one,none of us want to see headlines that a child has been savaged,none of us want to see beautiful dogs persecuted

    It's the same old story. A dog in the wrong hands can be dangerous. What is the saying "punish the deed, not the breed"? Yet another bull breed slating :cry:

    and interestingly the initial reporty of that pregnant lady had been that it was a staffie - then it was an american bulldog and then some kind of mastiff - in the papers - thus slating 3 breeds before even starting on the Presa !

    Its as above - its a dog in the wrong hands - its people that should be on a dangerous list !

    makes you wonder doesn't it, if a, say errrrr a cocker spaniel (no dig meant by this, just the first in my head) attacked a pregnant woman, would that cause such a stir? :shock:

    Maybe the dogs breeding was wrong and they had some sort of genetic fault that made them more prone to attack, as these are a high guarding breed in the first place.
    With the type of people that are sourcing them it could be highly likely. Back to bad breeding again unfortunatley :evil:

    I agree. I have heard that certain breeds are more predisposed to guarding behaviour etc than others. It's the neds that buy these dogs for this reason and actively encourage anti social behavior that need "put down" not the dogs :evil:

    I steer clear of tabloids :D most reporters don't know a lot about dogs and can't tell one breed from another. Next week they will be back to Staffy bashing.

    Newspaper reporters - never let the facts get in the way of a great story...

    unfortunately, lots of people read and soak up this kind of sensationalism :-(

    strange how they always manage mention pitbulls even when it has nothing 2do with the breed? again this whole story supports my idea that breeders shud be forced 2do some kind of back ground checks on people they sell puppies 2and puppy peddlers shud be shut down!

    I can only agree, wrong dog in the wrong hands. I'd have one as a guard dog anyday! In an ideal World people just wouldn't be able to go out and buy a killing machine, which any large/small breed can be trained to be, especially dogs like the pitbulls and maybe these. I know pitbulls are banned here, but they aren't elsewhere are they! You can't just go out and buy a kid if you feel like it, so how come anybody, especially these scums of the earth, can go out and buy one of these? I want laws to govern the sale of all dogs like this, not only coz they're dangerous in the wrong hands, but also the cruelty some inflict on them with the dog fighting too.

    Sounds like the same old story to me, some idiot journalist printing a very biased one-sided story about something he knows nothing about. :evil:

    It has happened over the years to many breeds unfortunately, Dobes, GSDs, Rotties, Staffies, Pit Bulls - I guess it is Presas turn now - makes me sick :-(

    I agree that we need better legislation on dog ownership, legislation that wont effect responsible dog owners like us, but silly idiots buying dogs for the wrong reasons.

    I agree that tabloids are just doing their sensationalist mumbo jumbo as usual!

    Anyway here's one of the soppiest dogs I've ever known, oh, he's a presa btw!! :mrgreen:
