On a week when all canine interest should be directed to the upcoming Crufts show in Birmingham the media have drawn attention to ‘weapon’ dogs instead of ’show dogs’.   I believe that there must be more control on dangerous dogs, every year children are killed and maimed by dogs who have been bred as vicious rather then as loving companions.  Of course, the sort of people who breed and own ‘weapon’ dogs are not going to read blog posts on wagger or anywhere else,  I suppose they have their own ‘fighting dogs’ blogs tucked away in cyber space.  These dogs are traded in the grey pet market and marketed by word of mouth.  I think that compulsory chipping is a step in the right direction since dogs can be traced back to the owner.  Better would be a tougher implementation of the original dangerous dogs act and heavy fines and punishment for thugs who teach dogs to be vicious.    

I look forward to bringing Crufts news later this week and assure you that we will campaign vigorously for outlawing these ‘weapon’ dogs.
