Ever heard or rabies.Sure it was.....how many adults have been killed by foxes?
We've hit peak trolling now.One too few?![]()
I'm sure you could have scared it off rather than killing it....Ever heard or rabies.
Even so, are you suggesting I should have just let it bite me, harm me, maybe to my permanent disfigurement - rather than kill it.
Is that what you are saying?
In the UK?Ever heard or rabies.
This was in France, and why take the risk of a bite, when a swifter and more effective solution was at hand.In the UK?
Last case of canine rabies was over 100 years ago....
You weren't there. My approach was solely to guarantee my safety and well being. It worked.I'm sure you could have scared it off rather than killing it....
Licencing works well enough for motorists and gun holders.
No I wasn't, so we'll just have to take your word for it......You weren't there. My approach was solely to guarantee my safety and well being. It worked.
I was dozing in my tent when it happened, I had to act swiftly...swift blows with the hammer was the best approach.
The answer is very easily. They all pose a serious risk to people's safety and well being. Two are heavily regulated, one isn't.Not really, gun licensing didn’t work for the few mass killings we’ve had here and doesn’t work for criminals. If you have watched any of these TV police programs you would have the same view of motorist licensing. Not sure how one can equate cars, guns and dogs anyway.
And if you do ever find yourself under attack from an animal, I guarantee your first thought isn't its welfare, but how to save yourself.No I wasn't, so we'll just have to take your word for it......
Did you hit it when it started unzipping your tent?.....
It obviously knew there was a chicken in the tent....
Bullsh!t....
What about the elderly? You need protection from them too?
Lots of elderly people who have lost their loved one turn to dogs for companionship.....
And is an old frail person really the most suitable guardian of an animal with the very real potential to kill...
Not quite, line bred is mother son / father daughter.
the idea is to try and control inbreeding depression. While keeping the line ( almost) pure
I'm sure you could have scared it off rather than killing it....
Very off topic but if dozens of military age men illegally entering your country, from countries that we've bombed, isn't a real threat to you I don't know what is.Indeed but we're talking of someone who advocated the killing of unarmed refugees in case they claimed some benefits so it shouldn't really surprise to that killing is his go to solution for any perceived threat.
What about other people for contact, and what about other people who could be in harms way because of dogs. Don't they matter?My dad passed away last Monday, we buried him on Thursday. I don't know where she'd be if she didn't have the dogs.
You really are ignorant in the extreme!

If you are happy to be mauled by a fox, great. I wasn't so I killed it.

Oh, FYI, I've got a grand parent alive who's perfectly happy, on their own, without a dog. They're not the be all and end all.
Good for them.....Well if they're anything like you I'm not surprised. A dog probably wouldn't like them either....Oh, FYI, I've got a grand parent alive who's perfectly happy, on their own, without a dog. They're not the be all and end all.
That's called selective breeding.Not in the show world, it's finding dogs that want the qualities of and pairing them, then finding another dog
with similar lines and pairing them to your pups and so on down the line
You really are as thick as pigs***! Why don't you take your prejudices, along with a rolled up copy of the daily mail, and shove 'em both up your arse where they belong!
What happened to Sticks and stones (and hammers) and all that?.....I'm out, name calling. I've reported your post.
As you've nothing useful or intelligent to add in response to my post, other than a rant, I'll wish you a good afternoon.I'm terrified.![]()

TouchéSorry, I got bored of waiting all these years for you to post anything intelligent.
I'm out
Thanks for the heads up - just as an explanation - when we get RTM's we don't just read the post reported, we read the thread back far enough to work our where the trouble came from. Thats why I banned you from this thread, you nasty little dog-phobic piece of scum*.I've reported your post.
That's called selective breeding.
Nothing to do with line breeding, they are selectively breeding from the dogs with the best traits.
I still say that line breeding is breeding from the same line.The line breeding term has various meanings
And look what they did to the Alsatian. ( Now called GSD) in their efforts to get the perfect dog for the show ring.and in the KC world it generally means sticking to one fairly narrow group of ancestors.
When a species selects for a mutation that ultimately makes the phenotype non-viable, the species dies out. This is an observed fact of evolution. When humans select for a mutation that makes the phenotype non-viable, individuals have to suffer the consequences. This is, allegedly, proof of the love many humans show their dogs...And look what they did to the Alsatian. ( Now called GSD) in their efforts to get the perfect dog for the show ring.

No thanks!
Selective breedingand that's exactly why I don't likeline breedingin the show world
Slightly off topic
Lock your partner/wife/husband in the boot of your car along with your dog.
Drive off road for an hour then return home.
Open the boot of your car and see who greets you most lovingly![]()

IIRC, it's perfectly OK to leave a spouse in a car, even with the windows wound up and on a hot day...

Selective breeding is selectively breeding from several lines.
It's interesting you say that.The ‘worst’ current example I can think of is that ‘steep learning curve’ has become endemic... ...to mean something that is hard to learn whereas it means just the opposite![]()
It's interesting you say that.
I remember that it was commonly used, in the sense of implying great difficulty, by the IT community during the 1980s. True, it was sometimes employed as: "this new language does not have a steep learning curve". I don't recall the basic phrase being used to imply ease of learning, though.
It seems that there are both technical and colloquial uses, with the meanings being quite different. I hadn't previously come across the technical definition and I would imagine that the colloquial usage is many times more widespread than the technical. It's unfortunately the case that usage ultimately determines the meaning of a phrase, no matter the original intent.Perhaps I wasn’t clear, I mean that it refers to the (theoretically ‘S”- shaped) curve plotting learning against time or experience.
