Probably THE most dangerous breed of human dog owner is the 'Chap that knows the lot' he has a cunning streak which at first will pass for intelligence, He makes all the right noises to acquire what he thinks he wants, he will agree to keep in touch, he will agree to rear the dog according to instructions, and do recommended training.

But watch this one, once away, he decides he 'knows' all about these, and all other dogs, he will then proceed with his own agenda, regardless of warnings, he will take no further heed of what he was told by the breeder, he knows better, so, he will allow the young pup or dog he has bought to run in the same yard with his,and even visiting children, he will recall the 'old dog' who allowed kids to jump all over it, pull it's ears, poke fingers in eyes, ect. and be quite sure the new dog will do the same, no training, no supervision. this 'pre programmed' animal will,in his book just grow into the perfect dog without much further input from him.

The chap that knows the lot will also let his dog off lead anywhere he thinks he might like to, he knows that if it chews up another dog,or gets run over because it ran out into the traffic or bites somebody, he has the perfect answer as to what went wrong!!

If the dog is a pure breed, the breeder is at fault, they sold him a 'brummy' dog, if it is a cross WOW, this chap will tell you it is x or y breed being in there that has caused the problem, he 'KNOWS' this, did not before he bought the dog, mind you, but he knows it now, and how.

Recommended course of action for this very nasty breed is , steer well clear, as current laws do not allow him to be put to sleep along with the unfortunate dog he has acquired through his cunning actions.

THEN comes the bloke who wants the worst dog on the block, a real manstopper, you will often be able to pick this one by the way he bays about violence and 'getting' all and sundry with his dog, he will inform you that he intends to 'bait' the dog from day one, 'Knows' how to train it himself.

DO NOT SELL THIS ONE A DOG. He will proceed with his intent and rear a dog of mindless savagery, so tormented it will very likely even wind up biting him.

This one will work diligently toward getting your dog on the banned breed list in his shire, needs to wear a brand on his forehead to identify him to the new breeder.

NEXT on our list of dangerous owners is the lovable 'Cuddly person', who loves their dog sooo much it is allowed to do as it likes, so cute when that little pup growls and will not give up his place on the couch or bed, so charming when he demands and gets a feed from the table, how utterly delightful when he challenges the owner for supremacy in the house. UNTIL, cuddly bear person, finds one day that they have a 60kg. monster who jumps all over all and sundry knocking them to the floor in play, or decides to attack a family member who has had the temerity to dare sit on his favourite chair

TOTALLY unacceptable is the 'Keeping up with the Jones' type he is a danger more through neglect, once the novelty wears off, a bored and untrained dog who is relegated to the back yard is often destructive, and uncontrollable, and because he is uncontrollable he is left even more often to his own devises.

These types are best distracted with stuffed toys, or electronic alarms, that way they may be left to exist in peace and so may the rest of the community they live in.

POSSIBLY the worst of all is the 'Cruel bastard' almost as cunning and indeed often crossed with the 'Chap that knows the lot' there is an unofficial movement to put this breed down,or at least ban them from dog ownership as soon they are identified in all shires.
