[Closed] I just got chased by a bullmastiff!

He make you his bitch?

"He doesn't like bikes"

It seemed he didn't particularly like his owner either.

He was probably "just playing"

On the subject of weaponised dogs, I was reading about the [url= http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jun/03/women-dog-killed-neighbour-jailed-liverpool ]tragic case of a pensioner who was mauled to death.[/url]

Never heard of the breed so googled it.

Who the **** has a dog like this in a residential area?

On boggy flat ground, there was only ever going to be one winner

so I stopped!

The one that got me ran fast too. Owner said it was my fault too I've never been so glad to have long legging on

[I]Who the **** has a dog like this in a residential area?[/I]

Not so much 'who' but 'why'

Horrible things. (the dog & the owners, ****ing horrible)

They are lovely dogs. Owners on the other hand I can't vouch for.

When I think Bullmastiff

I'm guessing that the fact you can still type probably means it was just playing. Still totally unacceptable though.

When I think Mastiff I think of the slobbering piece of shite that rented my house, cos he had one, a 'Dogue de something'. It slobbered all over the walls & made the house virtually uninhabitable. Not the dogs fault that it was a dribbly sloppy stinking thing, but that's what I think of.

I blame the owner for the dog's behaviour.

Are you allowed to carry a screw driver around if so use it when in your defense as a matter of emergency.

😯

Jamie - Freeloader! But we still like him

That's a scary dog if it chases after me ... 😯 But I will go back for it later on. Papua style (they love dog meat).

Went running while on holiday, down a fairly popular walking trail, goat herders guard dog obviously doesn't like runners, shit myself, all the owner did was shout at it and throw rocks from a distance dog just growled when I faced it down, every time I turned to walk away I heard the owner scream at it and sure enough it was coming for me whenever I wasn't maintaining eye contact. A very tense few moments - and again when I had to run back that way (no other way back only alternative was all the way up and down the other side of a mountain)

Reminded me of the Alsatians a guy on our street had when I was a kid, they used to regularly vault the fence and scare the shit out of kids, sure as shit ain't gonna let someone's beast terrorise my kids like that!
(Report them not keyboard warrior shit)

Never turn your back on the dog by standing your ground with something in between as shield. Never run as you will never out run it (if it is already too close).

Stand your ground but some dogs will charge so be prepared for the imminent fangs heading your ways. 😯

As a kid my boy racer mate used to get bitten by dogs on many occasions so we learned from the experience.

Who the **** has a dog like this in a residential area?

Scousers and chavs apparently. Although I think they are one and the same (I jest, calm down, calm down).

The funniest dog chase I've ever seen was when we were on holiday in Corfu.
We'd hired some bikes, and went for a pootle along the coast which involved a very steep climb up a hill to take in the view.
A few photos taken and we begin heading back so start freewheeling back down the hill, past a couple of houses we'd passed earlier with my bro in law Terry leading, suddenly out of one of the gates comes a dog barking and snapping at Terry's heels. Terry then breaks into a full race sprint while at the same time trying to kick the dog away, the problem was Tez was still in the highest gear he had from the climb, his legs were going like the clappers but he wasn't getting anywhere 😆
Anyhow they both disappeared round a really sharp hairpin bend with me shouting after him to watch the hedge as I thought there'd be no way he could make the turn, next thing we know is the dog is trotting back round the corner with a mahoosive bone in its mouth! He trotted back to his house totally ignoring the rest of us to finish off Terry's leg in comfort.

We turned the corner expecting to find Terry embedded in the hedge missing a limb, but as it turned out he was fine, in fact quite pleased that a least a couple of kicks had found their target, we still have no idea where that bone came from though!
Still makes me laugh 14 years later!

what do you do when owner is showing no signs of coming to get the dog?
****ing Mexican stand off til nightfall and dog goes to sleep?

Ahh ... the dreaded high noon standoff 😆

Happened to us rather often too when we were cornered by 3 to 4 dogs where we used our bicycles to shield us from them. Yes, in our situation it was really high noon at 35c to 40c standing like idiots facing the dogs. (usually we laughed amongst ourselves in that situation).

The trick is keep shielding yourself while walking away slowly from it's territory. The dog will not chase you beyond it's territory.

Try this, once the dog goes beyond it's territory it is frighten and this is the time you fight back but watch out by not trying to push it into a dead end coz it will fightback. If you do this the dog will remember you forever and will keep attacking you whenever it sees you ... 😆 We did it and the dog(s) hated it so we were always chased by them in our teens. No harm done as we got used to it.

The other day I saw what looked like a greyhound/staffy cross. Basically a more muscular, very fast set of jaws. Hopefully it got the greyhound temperment.

'Dogue de something'

Dogue de Bordeaux? Aka French Mastiff.

A mate of mine had one. The amount of saliva to come out of its mouth was comical. For me anyway. Probably not so much for him. Up the walls, all over the floor, round the TV, over the bed ... and not little bits of dribble either. It should probably be called dogue de slavery firehose.

I wouldn't gamble on that if it is not your dog. Dogs don't really like stranger unless you got to know them. 😀

Eewwuuukkk ... if you have a hard surface floor I can bet you you will slip so be very careful.

The owner was apologetic, he was (if you want to stereotype) a vest wearing skinhead who went to the gym regular. What concerned me and not for my safety was when he went to grab it it turned as if to say come on then, then cowered. The reason why that concerned me was they had a little toddler out on the walk with them.

That's the one/thing. Why would anyone of sound mind & hygienic standards want one of those slavverey stinking mutts? The smell of dog snot & saliver when we finally evicted them will haunt me forever.

Some people like big working dogs which in a very small confined environment can drive it crazy. 😮

A friend of mines parents had a pair of Boxers (the dog, not the pants), and they used to drool something rotten. I used to sleep over all the time when we were kids, and one time I woke up with one of them looming over me with the longest bit of drool just hanging over my face.

Lovely dogs, but just so drooly.

If i was stood over you watching you sleep I would drool

Cue lots of STWers calling for the ban of anything thats not a Border Terrier.

Me and Gracie will just sit here and watch

Wandering around Morocco with gf and Moroccan friends we were chased by a murder of hounds. Friends told us to crouch look them in the eye and start to pick up stones. Seemed to work and has since.

Meanwhile, in Russia...

AW cummon. Yuk. Greyhound-staffie crosses are common here in the north east. Odd looking things bred to kill anything living in a 30 mile radius.

Owners generally wearing Sports Direct gear combined with jauntily angled flat caps, with a cheap tab hanging out the corners of their mouths. Spade for digging out badgers / foxes is de-riguer.

****s.

Those bullgreyhound lurchers are often pit bull crosses. Used for lamping foxes.

Just seen there's a dog fighting doc on channel 4 next week. Now I'll not be watching that, ****in scum bags!!!

There's some very insightfull dog psychology going on here. Interestingly, it counts for nothing because as a free thinking animal, a dog can decide to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants. As yet no one has really figured out jack shit about why animals do anything at all. Particularly ones of the homo sapien variety.
Dogs are dangerous.
People are dangerous = lots of danger everywhere.
Best to just stay home.

Please use your pre frontal cortex for something other than making very weak/strange arguments.

read a self defence tip somewhere *

just shove your arm down the dog's throat and choke it

or a small chihuahua

* may not be true but hey ho 😉

Bad night junkyard?

No but my reply was overly shitty sorry.
What you said was over the top
Animals , apart from humans, are largely a collection of instincts
Dogs do not ponder the consequences of their actions before acting and to compare the thinking of animals with humans is to compare chalk with cheese

The Mastiff would have turned and barked at his owner because he was wound up from barking at you, despite misconceptions, dogs don't have eyes in the back of their heads, him cowering shows that once he realised he was barking at his owner he was remorsefull.

If you were fighting someone and felt something grab you from behind would you instinctively stop and leave yourself vulnerable to attack or spin round quick on the offensive?

No, he knew it was the owner and it looked to me as tho he'd had a few "thrashings" in the past. As they always say its down to how you bring them up no matter what breed it is...

him cowering shows that once he realised he was barking at his owner he was remorsefull.

Jeez, you're a regular Dr Doolittle ain't cha.
Pretty much all theory and someone else's at that. As yet, apart from yourself of course, no one has been able to actually communicate with a dog on a one to one so we don't know what they think. There are plenty of people who have thought they understand animals and bear the scars to show how wrong they can be. I bet Steve Irwin though he was a right clever dick until he got a Stingrays tail through his left ventrical.
Take a look at elephant and killer whales just as an example. They are supposedly trained and conditioned, docile and compliant. Then suddenly, for no apparent reason, turn on their handlers, sometimes maiming or even killing.
I don't know if you'll put that down to instinct. I'd say they've just had enough. In my mind that equates to a decision.
Of course. I've never had a chat with either, so it's only my theory and I wouldn't want to fight you over it. 😆

This is why we should be allowed to carry firearms at all time.

Yup,so we can shoot the owners.
Result.

Why can't they just get a nice ickle fwuffy hamster, or something? You can't get weaponised breeds of hamster can you?

Or a nice puddy tat? Then have their self-esteem slowly eaten away by it's withering contempt, rather than someone else's arm literally eaten away by it's owners ****-witedness?

you're a regular Dr Doolittle ain't cha.

Owning pets should be banned, what a backward arrogant way to treat animals.

Richard Ballantine in his bicycle book recomended ramming a bike pump down a dogs throat, just as it made its first lunge at your leg,

Id prefer to just batter the owner round the head with a bag od dog shit from another dog, and left at the side of the road just for that reason.

You don't think, given half a chance, Professor Fluffikins wouldn't make us their bitch?

We just got there first.

Oh and when passing an obviously agressive dog just say to it, and whats up set you today doggy,having a bad day are we.
The look on the owners face is priceless, as to them its a fighting aggressive animal totally devoid of any sentiment from them..

Haha. He said botom!

Owning pets should be banned, what a backward arrogant way to treat animals.

Don't think of them as pets, think of it as mutual symbiosis. Without dogs it's debatable whether we as a species would be the same in evolutionary terms and without us, they wouldn't have anyone to feed them.

If they are not pet then they are food. 😯
