I know a lot about this particular breed of dog and it has to be admitted that this breed does suffer from inherited genetic defects – but they are brilliant dogs. Poor Zac from Ashton featured in this video also starred in a recent BBC programme called Pedigree Dogs Exposed. Zac was filmed having an epileptic fit and following the programme calls were made for Zac to be put to sleep. Thankfully Zac’s owner did not heed this advice and here he is having fun.

Call out the dogs
I saw the BBC programme with this dog in it. I do not know who to pity the most for their inherited genetic defects - the dog or the poster on this blog known as West.
Teaching your kids how to deal with an aggressive dog is one of best ways to keep them safe, so go over these tips with them. A child should never approach a strange dog without adult supervision, especially when that dog is eating or sleeping. Running away from an aggressive dog also provokes an attack, as does screaming so children should stay calm and try to tell the dog to sit, stay or go home in a commanding voice. This can snap a dog out of aggressive mode if done convincingly. Making eye contact can be interpreted as a challenge so a child should never try and stare a dog down. A child should never try and break up a dog fight and as awful as this may sound, parents need to tell their children not to try and save their pet if another dog attacks. Many children have been savagely mauled and bitten by picking up the family pet when a strange dog has become aggressive. If the dog begins to attack, children should protect their neck and face with their arms, keeping their fingers curled up into fists. If possible, the child should stay in a tight ball.
Good advice Bill. It would take a certain amount of courage not to leg it if you saw a vicious dog bounding towards you but as Bill said - if you do run - the dogs natural predator instinct comes into play and the dog then views you as prey that needs to be caught and eaten.
