that dozy bitch just caught a bloody deer!
I thought catching a crow on friday was pretty amazing,but just now she was about 200m ahead of me, as I caught up there was a bit of a scuffle going on in a ditch. There she is savaging this poor full grown deer. I did the usual “LEAVE IT!” and she came straight over to me, leaving this creature sitting in the ditch staring at me in bewilderment (more likely terror).
It was ok – it ran off, had a bit of blood on its face.

but she looks so innocent!!

I had a heinz dog of lab/56 other variety’s who used to chase roe deer inn his younger stupid years.

Send her round Dez she can sort out this arsy cat that is terrifying my poor Lakeland!

I don’t think this is good, as soon she will be a farmer’s livestock, and then you will be in serious trouble, and possibly have to have her put down. If it is that bad you must muzzle her.

lulz, take it easy!

While it is impressive, I’ve got to agree with RegP. I’d definitely be really careful in future – seen too many healthy dogs euthanased because they attacked livestock.

And there’s a good chance that deer will have problems over the next day or so with infection/shock etc,

Sorry – I sound like your dad now.

This one is a specialist hare hunter… well at least she thinks is!

A deer hunting dog does sound pretty cool though 🙂

surfr – love that photo. My dogs the same – if the cat runs away it’s sport; if the cat stands it ground she craps herself 🙂

This is a troll right ?

i hope so

it’s a slippery slope to having your dog shot by a farmer or euthanased after attacking livestock.

Letting a dog that cannot be trusted to behave off the lead at all let alone that far in front of you is highly irresponsible.

What part of it is a troll?

She would be a risk around livestock (ie. sheep), but is kept on a lead or in control when there’s risk. She’s ok around horses and cows.

Some of these responses are absurd.

edit – I see now, my subject line was a bit ott. Supposed to be humourous, but as usual, lost on stw folk.

Some of these responses are absurd.

Why?

read the section here on injuries sustained by Deer after dog attacks.

Ok but I dont think we are talking about hunting deer, this is an accidental encounter between the two.

None of us want an innocent animal to suffer least of all Dezb (I suspect) so lets not get all sanctimonious.

Couldn’t have put it better myself, surfer (obviously!)

did the usual “LEAVE IT!” and she came straight over to me

I used to have a best friend who was obsessed with food, rape, killing and the pursuit of sticks. He’s in Broadmoor now. It seems there one rule for humans and another for moronic ball-less slave-wolves. Bloody typical. 🙂

I don’t understand that either you said the Bitch, attacked a deer and drew blood!! You are responsible for the dog and its actions, even if you like to joke about it.

Bigdummy in deliberately obtuse shocker. :-0

you don’t do much in your post Dez to give the idea that you were anything but impressed by the encounter. I know you weren’t out to ‘get’ Deer but your dog clearly thinks attacking things that move is fun. This is VERY dangerous behaviour and could well result in it attacking something that’ll win the fight. That wouldn’t be quite as exciting to you i’m sure.

what you need is a trip to see Caeser 🙂

‘SMILE BITCH’

wilma, that picture is great, love the expression in her eyes.

She looks like a right playful thing.

I miss dogs 🙁

My Mrs won’t have them in the house.

The last one I had, was working dog on the farm, only thing it used to go for were rats and mice, very clever, totally loyal, would go without food if there was work to be done.

Used to cover me in doggy cow-mucky paw marks every morning I got to work 😉

surfr – you’ve misunderstood my point I think

I’m not criticising Dezb at all – these things happen and I am indeed surprised the dog managed to tackle a grown deer.

My point is just that this would suggest caution is needed in future. As previously stated, I see too many dogs needlessly put to sleep because of “accidents” with sheep etc. And there’s a good chance that deer’s future isn’t too rosy.

Troll?

Muzzle the fecker in future

The consequences of too much inbreeding perhaps? 😆

I started this off and it was by no means to have a go or mock you. I am just saying that for both the dogs and any other animal sake muzzle it.

he rather looks like he is trying to breed right there 😯

Don’t trolls wait for goats, under bridges?

enfht – which one??

unless…. nah – you couldn’t mean that!

Sadly, I think the only course of action, is to have DezB neutered. 🙁

And I suspect, judging by this pic, that this may happen sooner than he may expect…

😯

Send her round Dez she can sort out this arsy cat that is terrifying my poor Lakeland!

DTFU!

Chortles at Rudeboy. That’s not fair on the poor lad!

Dez, did you read this thread before you posted it and think “I’ll get no grief for talking on STW about my out of control dog’s deer-maiming frenzy. They’ll all be really pleased to hear about it and a few people will say so, then the thread will fall off the front page”. ‘Cause that was a naive call if you did… 😉

but is kept on a lead or in control when there’s risk

So,there was a risk that the dog could attack a deer but was not under control or on a lead.

There does seem to be a rash of ‘misjudging the public response’ going on here today.

Precisely.
I could pick up on each of the absurd responses and explain why they are, but its too awkward with my hand in plaster, so i can’t be bothered.
Just this – an out of control dog wouldn’t respond to ‘leave it’ and an irrisponsible owner wouldn’t have said ‘leave it’

I guess I shouldn’t leave her alone in the room with our child now she has the taste of blood

LOL. Do you actually live the the real world?

As long as its your child I’m sure no-one minds. 😉

Besides, from what I hear, many children taste much like Pedigree Chum moist sachets with added healthsome vitamins, so you can never be quite sure your dog doesn’t have a taste for child-flesh even if it isn’t a killer.

Friend of mine at work had a young bull terrier that was really soft as a soft thing. Took it for a walk where it clocked some sheep at lambing time, of it went. It got 200yrds Boom, farmer shot it, no warning no nothing. Farmer then went up to dog in front of my friend and finished it off! I presume to save it from any suffering. My mate was shell shocked. He said he was going to report it to the police, he was going to sue etc etc. Farmer told him he was a plonker, said that if he could not control his dog then he shouldn’t have one. He then produced a card with his solicitors details. Needless to say my mate got nowhere with the police and the solicitor told him he was wasting his time. He now keeps his dog on a lead passing farms etc. A harsh lesson indeed.

LOL. Do you actually live the the real world?

Is the real world the one where people let their dogs off the lead to attack wild animals, then claim that they’re under control ?
Yes, I think I do frequent that realm. HTH.

Obvious troll and I’m bored of it now.

Perhaps if you had posted asking for advice as to how you could stop your dog attacking wildlife the reaction would have been different. Why not try contacting the RSPCA and asking for some advice?
