I've always fancied a rescue Saint Bernard with an attached brandy barrel for 'emergencies'.......

Yes sorry, Stephen, I knew you had a Boxer. Still not a good mix unless you give up work and become a dog person full-time.

I dont think the boxer will be the problem though, it'll be whatever i bring in as a companion, i think i might have a look at another boxer.

Cheers.

The Boxer (any dog) is potentially the problem mixing the 2 though.

With 3 day handler training included I'm sure she'll be better than any bitch you've ever known.

Thanks SBk - most informative. I think I might just take your "most dangerous dog" statistics with a bit of a pinch of salt The key statistic would be in percentage terms i.e. 5% of labs have attacked people etc. If nipping ankles counts then I guess the figure for Jack Russells would be around 99% (only joking JR owners........). If your figures take into account the actual numbers of labs etc then I would question the results.

All good stuff though! dl

If you want a challenge, I met a half Akita half, wolf when my dog was little (yes I said wolf!!). My 6 month boxer was much smaller than the 4 month old Wol-kita although she tried her best playfighting with it - bless her.

I think the dogs full wolf parent resides in the north east.....

David - Your probably right, with the number of labs out there, versus's the number of akita's, then the stats will be pi55ed. Its more the point that even the toilet roll running cutes that labs are, can still bite. :-)

My g/f has four cats, one is a killer and will scratch your eyes out. How come there isnt a dangerous cat's act ? ;-) Mmm I wonder what would happen, if I scratched across the face, in a public park, by a cat ??

Could I sue the owners, for being attached by their cat or be beaten up for being a poncey bent soft ******* :-)
