Another dog attack
Discussion
At the local council owned stately home with large grounds on Easter Monday, it was very busy with dog walkers. My Rottie was on his Halti lead and the Patterdale Terrier on a Gentle Leader and wearing his muzzle. There are no regulations about dogs being on leads unfortunately.
First gate we come to and a woman in her late 20s is pushing a buggy and walking an excitable black Lab off the lead. She had zero control over it, never returning despite a lot of shouting. The Lab ran up to the Rottie who wanted to play with it. Behind us a couple with 3 small/medium sized cross breed terriers came up and all 3 ran to the Terrier. He stood there with his muzzle and didn't react to start with but once all 3 and the Lab, who was now bored of the Rottie, surrounded him he kicked off. My wife hauled him away no damage done as he's muzzled but the 3 terriers followed him. The owner was shouting and only after my wife slammed the gate in their faces did they stop.
At this point the owner went into bully-a-woman mode and told her she should not have the dog as he was 'too reactive'. She told him to put his dogs on leads as they could not be controlled. A row developed so I walked back towards them having gone on ahead. Mr Bully started on me telling me to 'get on your way' so I went straight for him. When he realised my threat was not going to be an empty one he went back through the gate. By now more dogs were approaching and his dogs ran around the next two causing chaos. The new people were not amused.
We like to think we are responsible with our dogs when out walking but until the donuts realise there is a reason they are on controlling leads and muzzled, these problems will keep occurring. Its almost as if they want to provoke the Rottie because in many people's eyes they are all bad dogs. He has never attacked another dog but he has been attacked by collies, spaniels, Staffies, and mixed breeds and so far has manged to avoid being bitten badly.

Just cropped up on Google news, so may have already been posted, London in Battersea in March an XL bully attacked 4 men, some who climbed on a car to avoide it.
Police called and shot it dead, two arrests, 4 men all had injuries. Why on earth do these egits let one of them out off a lead, dogs that is.

Now a sausage dog, copied from google neww:-
A single mum who had part of her cheek ripped off when she was attacked without warning by a friend’s pet dachshund has said her “life has been ruined” and her self-esteem “absolutely destroyed” by the scar the dog left behind. Kelly Allen, 45, from Swansea, was enjoying a few drinks at a friend’s house last month when their “very friendly” dog suddenly changed its demeanour and latched on to her face.
The dog refused to loosen its grip until it had torn a large chunk of her cheek off to eat it, leaving Kelly with an open wound that required five-and-a-half hours of plastic surgery and more than 40 stitches. The sausage dog was removed from the property by police and later put down.

I read that dachshunds are quite bad-tempered dogs and need to be trained properly.
However the difference is that if that was an XL Bully it could have torn her entire jaw off in a second.

Dachs is German for badger. Badgers are pretty hard, so anything bred to go after them is going to have a less than cutesy side.
