I don't know maybe it happened because there were 2 dogs and just Riley

Possibly but the first thing out of the owners mouth was to question if Riley was male.

Were his dogs male?

I think to say there is definitely something in castrated dogs is a generalisation and needs statistics and a bit unfair towards neutered dogs

It would be a dull world if we can't repeat our experiences. That's all I was doing. With the think highlighted to underline it as an opinion. I think this is fair.

Yes it's fair and I am sure you and Charlie meet as many kind neutered dogs as you do intact

We meet very many more - we live in a largely castrated world of course.

yes they were, I didn't see if both were intact or not too busy defending my boy who says thank you to everyone for the copious tummy rubs!

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Poor Riley.

My old lab was forever getting attacked. Very rarely did I get an apology. Unfortunately it seems to be the way some owners are. Or I'd get 'oh he's never done that before' which was just as annoying.

Hibiscrub as has been suggested as it won't dry the wound up but will get rid of germs. With bite wounds you don't want them to scab over too quick until the germs are out.

It didn't matter how often he got attacked though it had no effect on him. He never attacked back and he never worried about other dogs. I'm sure Riley won't let it worry him.

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Sorry poor Riley got bitten. Most dogs do get into a scrap at some time in their lives, but nonetheless it is very upsetting when it happens. I hope Riley is ok. X

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Poor Riley.
Hope his gorgeous ear is okay, and his confidence not dented.
Further tummy rubs from me.

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Poor Riley So sorry that he had a fright Give the little man a pat from me too.

Re. dog fights.....Compared to the very significant impact of clueless, narcissistic and irresponsible owners, I think that the contribution made by the 'ball or no ball' factor is pretty tiny.

As opposed to Oh My God!I'm so,so sorry.Is your dog ok?lLet me leash my dogs and move away while you check your dog over?..............What is wrong with people?

So sorry you had his experience,I'm sure it shakes you up as much as it did Riley,hope the ear wound is just superficial and that Lizzie 'dropped' him a couple of treats to cheer him up!x

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Thanks all, Riley's ear looks ok this morning, the skin is a little bit more red round the cut but only a little and he doesn't mind you touching it tooooooo much. Obviously ear washing requires quite a lot of treats as it's such a traumatic experience : so he's doing ok Angela

Sadly no nice dogs out to meet this morning only Rocky the boxer who, while a lovely dog, is all male and Riley's always been very submissive around him so OH had to trot Riley past quickly before concrete bum set in.

I'll try and find some friendly dogs this afternoon.....work in London now unfortunately so boring rest day for the boy.

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Just to complicate the debate of intact or not intact males being worse. Murphy got attacked numerous times by bitches !!! I think it's to do with the dog as much as the hormones. :

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

And after todays experience I think I could add the question of "Why is it OK for your dog to bite mine because your dog is small?". Tarkie was lying down submitting to two Chihuahuas today which promptly jumped on her back and bit her neck. I "swept" them off her back with my boot and the owner grumbled at me with the comment "That dog needs to learn to stand up for itself". Speechless.

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Omg! Beyond belief! Hope you 'swept' very firmly indeed

Hope Tarkie is ok xxx

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

Little dog syndrome.

Hope Tarka is ok . You should've drop kicked the chihuahuas !

I think some people with little dogs don't think they have to do anything about aggression or their behaviour because they can just drag them away if on lead and they don't sound as scary as a big dog.

You would get on well with my OH, Jen

Poor Tarka - hope she recovers from her nasty experience. I can imagine your speechlessness.
Sometimes it beggars belief

That is very true, Jen, I've seen it many times. Hope Tarka is ok and not too traumatized...

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

I think the same about the small dogs....I know I have lunge issues with Dexter but if he behaved like some of the small dogs do to him,we'd be run off the estate
Let tomorrow be a nice safe day for all our doggies x

 

Re: Why is it ok for your dog to bite mine because mine is an intact male

I thought the same as you Jen - little dog syndrome! We get that a lot too, plus they yap constantly which annoys me

Hope Tarka isn't too traumatised x
