As I said at the time on the other forum I had to fight with dog control for them to enforce the act as they went down the line of all the dogs not being on leads. I said fine write me a ticket and we are all on the same page and then we can start dealing with the attack.

As I said to Dog Control during my interview, if that had happened in the bush all of the dogs would have been wearing 130grn necklaces delivered at 2980ft/sec from my .270.

All it really reinforced to me is the difference between a "hunting dog" and a pack of dogs who hunt.

It is this sort of dog handling/control that makes access to many of our back country areas with dogs difficult. These blokes are just as mongrel as their dogs and enjoy the mana that they think driving around town with a flat deck ute and dog boxes on the back with carpet on the bonnet gains.

When it comes to dogs sometimes shit just happens no matter how well they are trained they could be your working/hunting dogs or your best mate & the latter can be the worst when it comes to hanging around other dogs , im not defending the idiots & theres no shortage of them & nor am I some dog expert not even close but il never forget my beloved digger a pup I got him when I was 16 a boxer x he looked like someone had hit him in the face with a spade I carted him all round the country staying at different shearers quarters etc etc he was my first pig dog in the making but I spoiled him got to the stage id sit down on the hill he would curl himself around my back & growl if the others got to close in the end that equalled dead, dogs get jealous to . iv done the full circle a few times my dogs fighting dogs dogs fighting mine my own dogs fighting each other maybe they are more like people than we realise or like there owners . theres defiantly some retards out there that shouldn't have dogs of any description hunting or pets they simply dont understand them or as owners the responsibility that go,s with it . iv never been a fan of meat heads especially latter years collie x or lab x are great on many levels but even then those fuckers fight maybe over food or bitches or pecking order etc. 2 of my best dogs where killed by there mates both separate instances & both packed that is in there dna the last one that was killed I was so angry he was a cracker of a dog collie x blue healer what a champ , finder bailer & loyal couldn't ask for more he could do it all by him self made the other dogs look silly sometimes well one day I got a panicked phone call from the missz at the time turns out she had let her stupid meat head off who had beatn the crap out of my little champ I got there & saw red I beat the puss out of that meat head not that he really new what it was for I just wanted to shoot it but after 5 minutes had calmed somewhat & rushed the wee fella off to the vets latter that night same as the first 1 his throat swelled up & died maybe I did something wrong along the way or maybe its just in there nature
