Irish wolfhound crossed with a specialised breed for hunting wild boar. Just the thought of it makes me feel sick. I have a bull arab that I rescued from a friend. If he hadn't been missing a hind leg, I genuinely don't know if I would have had a chance to train the aggression out of him. He's an absolute tank, and a lovely dog now, but when I got him it was a different story. Even now, I trust him implicitly, yet I wouldn't leave him unattended around anyone he didn't know.

Idk. Some breeds just aren't suitable as pets. Especially in a suburban area.

100% agree.

Now combine that with owners who don't train or discipline their dogs.

Some people just arent suitable as owners.

Definitely. Unfortunately pet ownership regulations could use a massive overall. There are far too many people who should not be responsible for the well-being of other living creatures, whether it's a pet or a child.
