imported_Cassie Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 The Province of New Brunswick was comtenplating banning breeds. Other Provinces have been going this route so it was just a matter of time before other provinces decided to consider banning breeds as well. I am happy to say that on Nov 17 and Nov 18 the amount of protesters was so enormous the province has decided NOT to ban breeds. There was one lady who suffers from crippling polio and has a Rottweiler as her assistance dog. She was there in full force in her wheelchair with her loyal assistant beside her. She gave a heart felt speech about Rotties being her favorite breed, and breed of choice as an assistance dog. It was quite iffy for a little while. The trend of banning breeds has been enormous lately. Also, considering we just had a few attacks by Rottweilers and APBT"s in our area involving children...this is what had chills running up and down my spine. Usually when some thing this extreme is going on and a few attacks occur it just adds fuel to the fire. Oh, by the way, one of the Rottweiler attacks which occurred was actually a Siberian Husky :roll: In the paper it stated a child was attacked by a Rottweiler and the little girl required many stitches in her face. Any way, I found out from a friend of the dog Quote
courtnek Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 good for NB!! I am iffy about the Husky though. It may never have shown aggression towards the owner, but children are another ball of wax entirely. Possibly never socialized around small kids? hard to say... My Lab doesnt like them (America's Sweetheart fails the test) but if you watch her body language you can tell when she's not happy around certain kids. Quote
imported_Cassie Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 From what I have heard this Husky lives in an apartment building which houses numerous children. The Husky from what I heard had been socialized with children and played with them for most its life. It was also very well socialized. Now, it could be that the dog was put in a defense mode the way the child approached it. It could also be that the owner had another dog with it on lead and the Husky reacted differently due to the other dog being there. I don't really know the reason for the attack, but, I do know the dog was immediately put down by choice of the owner. It could also be health related on the part of the Husky. All I have gotten is hear say from friends and the little bit of a write up in the local paper. Quote

courtnek Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 no that I could see....but then people think my hound is a wolf mix because of her bay, so that just shows how bad people are at dog identification..... Quote
