But I'm the first to admit that some terriers are snappy little s#ts!
The only time I wouldn't trust a foxhound is when its feeding time!

Sorry, but I think you are talking b*ll*cks. I'm as pro as they come, but sometimes you have to take a deep breath and say 'Oops, we f****d up'

I think you're quite right. However, the point at issue is why the hunt tried to hush it up.

Hi Flying Change,
Assuming you have asked a question
"However, the point at issue is why the hunt tried to hush it up"
Because they know that narrow minded idiots would try to make a real big issue of what is really likely to be a daily occurence. You cannot disagree with that?
Not excusing what happpened a great shame I have dogs of my own, but dogs attack dogs/moggies all the time.
Why did Karl not put the following on the board from the 11 th August
A DOG owner has told how her pet West Highland terrier was almost killed by a Rottweiler as it played in her garden with a two-year-old toddler.
The terrier called Jimbo needed 80 stitches after being grabbed by the throat and shaken violently.
Vets told Matilda Lynch that her nine-year-old dog was unlikely to survive the savage assault.
The Rottweiler also bit her neighbour Joanne Lumsden, 21, in the arm as she tried to pull the animal off Jimbo and protect her two-year-old son, David.
Their 18-year-old neighbour, Dean Stewart, appeared in court yesterday after being accused of being in charge of the Rottweiler and not keeping it under proper control.
But he walked free after telling Edinburgh Sheriff Court that the dog was a stray which had followed him home from a nearby park and disappeared afterwards. Sheriff Ian Simpson QC yesterday ruled that the case against the teenager had not been proved following a trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Today, Mrs Lumsden said the Rottweiler was a danger to children and other animals and should be "destroyed" if it is found.
The Rottweiler jumped over a fence into Mrs Lynch's garden in Muirhouse Avenue on December 20 last year.
It grabbed Jimbo by the throat and viciously shook the terrified terrier before throwing it in the air.
The injured pet managed to escape into the safety of its home, but the Rottweiller followed it inside, dragged it out again and continued its savage attack, shaking and throwing it.
Mrs Lynch's 80-year-old mother Elizabeth, who is wheelchair-bound, tried to throw a plant pot at the stray but failed to halt the attack. Ms Lumsden finally managed to prise the dog away, but suffered bite marks on her arm. Moments before the attack her son David had been playing beside Jimbo in the back garden.
Mrs Lynch, 54, said: "The dog jumped over the fence from next door and grabbed hold of Jimbo with its teeth.
"It was ragging Jimbo about with its jaws clamped shut. It wasn't letting go of him.
"Jimbo was covered in blood. I couldn't believe he was still alive.
"The vet told me the muscles in his neck were ripped from shoulder to shoulder and he had puncture wounds all over his body. He needed about 80 stitches."
Mrs Lynch said her pet, which she had owned since he was a puppy, fought a desperate battle for survival.
She added: "Jimbo was in and out of the vet's for two months. He was on liquid morphine when I got him home.
"Then on New Year's Day he came down with an infection. The vet said he wouldn't make it but he's a fighter. He's okay now but he still has trouble with his neck. And he's quite withdrawn and easily scared.
"That Rottweiler should be destroyed because it's a danger to other animals and children.
"My neighbour's son was sitting right next to Jimbo when he was attacked.
"The Rottweiler could easily have went for the baby instead."
Mrs Lynch told the court that Mr Stewart had referred to the Rottweiler as "his dog" and that it had been with him in his garden.
Stewart claimed the dog had followed him from a nearby park and he had planned to contact an animal charity to collect it when it suddenly bolted into his neighbour's garden.
Sheriff Simpson told him: "I find you not guilty on the basis that were simply intervening in relation to this dog to try to be helpful and you had no delegated authority over it."

Well I could suggest that you ask him the question directly. However, I would venture an opinion that Karl did not put it on the Hunting Forum because the event was not connected to hunting.

Hi Flying Change,
Using it as an example to show it goes on, the real point to the post was answering what appeared to be your question. Yes the hunt would try to cover it up because the narrow minded amongst the oppostion would love to make a big deal out of what is likely to be a daily occurence.

"make a big deal out of what is likely to be a daily occurence."
If it's likely to be a daily occurrence, something's wrong.

I know Nigel doesn't need me to make a point on his behalf, but I had a terrier who was very badly bitten by our neighbour's Working Cocker Spaniel (unusually aggressive and bad tempered for a WCS). She subsequently died from her injuries. They had been 'neighbours' for six years and the WCS was fine under supervision - but she came onto our property one afternoon and had a go at my elderly bitch for no apparent reason. I guess this is what Nigel is referring to. I didn't call the police, so it went unreported.
