it was a really good programme, lots of interesting facts about younger kids feeling tough because they have a big dog.

was on a couple of weeks ago, i thought it was very good. the guy with the rottie seemed to have his head in the rite place hes dog was well trained.
but the others were all idiots, the guy with the Kruger the DDBD who said himself that his dog was unpredictable both with people and other dogs still let the dog cover a bitch that he had only met once, and just going on the look of the dog and not the temperament.

did you see the owners face when his dog barked out on the street, he looked scared.

the rotti was called pepper, she was a well trained dog, i even give the owner more credit because he kept getting kicked out of housing estates because of pepper and not once did he even think of re-homing her, he slept in cars, round at his friends even in abandoned houses just to keep pepper.

the rest of the guys like you say kendal were complete idiots. the vet scenes i thought were particularly upsetting, it showed you what a breeder and his mates done to a runt of the litter, it was a small staffie and they put cigarettes out on his head and body, even after all that torture the wee pup was still showing affection to the vet

the biggest problem is half of the idiots on the show dont think of there dogs as living breathing creatures, they see them as confidence boosting weapons.
they were all bragging about how good it feels when they are walking down the street with there dog and a group of people are walking towards them then change direction because the see the dog.

I watched this program last night........some real halfwits on it.......sad to see the way some were using aggressive dogs for breeding.

I agree Alan that Pepper was well trained and under control......

AAARGH!
Met a man in the park last week boasting about going to breed his 'banned' bitch with a famous fighting dog from Northumberland. His sweet wee bitch was playing with Poppy - but will her puppies?
