They’ve said it best. ♥️

My heart goes out to all of those affected by the recent severe dog attacks in Holyrood and Pouch Cove.. I’m deeply concerned about the number of extreme cases we’re seeing in the news and I’ve had a lot of people ask for my take, so here goes.

It’s not the breed.

It’s not all in how you raise them.

It’s usually a combination of poor breeding and rearing practices, with a lack of socialization, exposure and training, topped off by a lack of proper enforcement of complaints/charges and owners not taking the appropriate steps when seeing the warning signs.

I have met dogs from poor breeding practices who have been raised well by lovely owners, but still had issues. I have met dogs from poor breeding practices who have been raised poorly but somehow turned out okay (case study - Leeloo ❤️). I have met bully breeds who would melt in your arms, and “friendly” breeds who have wanted to eat me. Breed alone is not enough to accurately predict behaviour.

However, I have yet to meet a dog from good breeding practices who posed a high risk to public safety.

Responsibility starts with the breeder - stop breeding dogs with poor physical and behavioural traits.

Next, the owners - do your research on the breeder or rescue organization before purchasing a dog or puppy. Ask for proof of temperament assessments, and training/rearing protocols (eg Puppy Culture). When the puppy or dog comes home - work starts on day 1, and if you’re seeing any concerning behaviours, seek help from a qualified professional.

We need to take dog behaviour more seriously, because we currently have front row seats to how things can go horribly wrong.
