akita attacked my dog today

isn't the Akita a banned breed in the UK?

Nope. They do not tolerate other dogs though.

Not convinced that because it isnt a person the police shouldn't be more interested.

surley the owners should at least be spoken to by some authority,like I said police not interested,who is apart from me,or will a tragic accident have to happen before someone takes notice.repairing the fence is a must surely.

RSPCA would be my first port of call.

thanks biscar,will have a troll through that site.

You are right to be concerned about this.  I was bitten by a small dog a month ago the attitude of the owner was to deny it.  Not serious in my case but next time it could be a child.

got my stuck into the site biscar has posted and will persue this avenue.

as usual no one cares no one takes responsiblity, no one is responsible

then something really serious happens and it is chest beating time in the daily mail

AND ALL TO FN  LATE!!!!

My friend has an akita that is the nicest dog I have ever come across...in the case of the dog in the OP maybe the problem lies with the owners as opposed to the dog...some people aren't fit to have a goldfish let alone a dog.

I think it should definitely be a matter for the Police and suggest you write to the Chief Constable giving all relevant circumstances and advising that local plod weren't interested. Perhaps they were too busy looking to see who had been offended on "Twitter".

is the Akita another name for a Husky?

the bad Akita should be made to attend a course in good dog behaviours.if it still doesnt comply it should be made to do community hours..guide dog duties or maybe drug detection or chasing criminals?

when I walked my dog i armed myself with a stick ( i.e a club!!).

If my dog was attacked - I attackeded!! No one attacked or hurt my mutt!


Que lots of screaming, crying owners. What comes around goes around......... control your dog or face the consequences when you are around my way x

^^let me clarify. Your dog is like a member of your family. If a memeber of family get's attacked - you defend.


It's not a case of dog on dog! (as some dumb owners assume!)

give the local council dog warden a call, he can pop over and give them some strong advice & log your concerns.

good luck

Arent akitas the ones that fight bears in Japan?  Absolutely mental to let a dog like that roam loose in a neighbourhood.  Should give the owners a year in prison just for allowing it to do that.  If it attacked a human the owners should be put on trial for GBH, minimum 5 years,if it killed a person should be on trial for manslaughter, minimum 15 years.

Watch out for the next full moon. Your dog could be turning Japanese, turning Japanese I really think so.

I like your style Emden my lab is my boy

just a small update guys,been round to see the owners and I was fuming,they own a pub,very arrogant pair,voiced my concerns very strongly,in fact would of smacked one of them if he had my side of the bar.my big big issue is why haven't they secured the back yard the dog was in.anyhow wife going around with vets bill today(vet says his coat has saved his life ,a small dog would not have survived.)I personally now view this dog as dangerous.I will be ringing the licensing authority,dog warden and police today to hear there views,also been round to take 19 photos of the said fence and gate.Do I think this dog is capable of attacking a child yes I do and will do everthing in my power to make sure it doesn't happen.also found out this dog has attacked another dog before.

Vodka ,ring you MP and complain to him/her  that the police were not interested and ask him/her to follow it  up with plod .I know it sounds like a waste of time but i have used my MP in the past and they may get something done.Plod wont like a MP sniffing about.

So reminds me of what happened to our labby a couple of years ago when he was attacked whilst on his lead by a couple of huskies who were not. Cost me £100+ to have him stitched back together. I knew where the owner lived so went to talk to him about it. His response was that he'd trained his dogs to kill and he pushed me over as a result of which I cracked my head open. Went to the police the next day. They were very keen to help until I mentioned the man's name when they changed their tune completely - my word against his etc. Turns out he has a record as long as your arm for violent offences which I didn't know beforehand. Went to the dog warden - not her job. Went to the RSPCA - not their job. Wrote to my MP and for my trouble received what could only be interpreted as a threatening visit from two local junior plods who made it quite clear they were not impressed that I had written to my MP. The attacks still go on - the latest of many only a few weeks ago when plod's response to that particular complainant was that was the first complaint they had received about those dogs and they couldn't take any action based on one complaint. That's the UK today for you.

a lamp chop laced with rat poison over the garden fence....job done

Hope you get a result with this.

always have our dog on a lead but the ones i like best are the owners loads near us who wont out them on a lead, and when they run off ,attack other dogs etc,they hit the dog with the lead that shud be round the dogs neck,
