Every group above has it's bad apples who give them a bad name. The ones who tresspass, do not take care or their animals, brag about how ruthlessly they cull, do not give their animals proper medical attention, those are the ones giving us a bad name and those are the ones that I would call scum bags...
This is very true. In sweden a dogo owner got busted testing his dog on a hog, lost the right to have dogs, dogs taken away, and now the dogo has a very bad name up there. It will now be impossible to get permission to even TRACK wounded game with a dogo there.
You are in USA, there is much more freedom than here, but if it is ONLY the bad apples that gets media space, it can easliy end very fast.
Here fx. the politicians are thinking about banning 4 breeds, since a lot of bad apples walks their dogs without leash and they attack small dogs on streets..etc..the dogo is among the 4 breeds, the dogo hasn´t made accidents here, but only because of the pure fact that he is already banned in 2 countries near us.
So, we now takes this fight for the second time, with medias, politicians, kennelclub etc. The newspapers have had a hetz about theese muscled breeds for a year now, every day, and now the politicians follow them.
We are getting punished, because of the rotten apples who do not follow the rules.
