I live next door to a single MUM, with 3 kids, 5 or less cats, and a 'blue heeler cross' bitch that is a complete PITA, barking over nothing and NOT happy.

Her FW parents bought the dog for her, and I'm not at all sure she's been spayed.

"The boys HAVE to have a dog!", "Kids need a dog!" well bulltwang, especially NOT a an ACDog.

This dog is never exercised, and is NOT trained.

I love BC's and BH's and I know people who've made a success of them as companion pets.

But, they are ACTIVE people mind, and actively engaged with their dogs, who go to activities every weekend.

OTOH most suburbs have way too many 'free-range-disaster' dogs.

I'm a bike rider and I KNOW, okay?

I used to carry a good Swiss bike-tyre-pump that had a nice halberd-style head - if you noticed it! I did after being bitten quite badly and unneccesarily. I then crried the nasty little bastrad to its owner, and told HIM that I intended to sue his are off for not having his DOG under control. I had and still have no guilt at all in using the pumps head on any dog that was danger to me, or my pedals/clips, to turn IT off bothering ME, ever again, at least.

Australia has way too many 'unsuitable dog' owners, IME! Most of them are not up to bringing up their own kids, IMO.

We are working on it here in the ACT, mind. You can't have an unspayed dogs unless you are a registered and approved breeder - all dogs must be registered WITH their reproductive status.

NB Most cat owners are NO better, we live inside a nature reserve and manage to keep both our cats indoors from before dusk to after dawn. The LEAST we can do. Several families near us just do NOT bother!

I spend a lot more time than I'd LIKE, biting my tongue!
