Tonight's stupid encounter.
Some guy at our local Asda was stood outside with a small pup - looked months old, so I gave it some snuggles and chatted with the owner, at this point I'm not sure what it is as it's only a small pup, but suspected it was a Bully breed. "She's an XLbully mate" I make small talk, and continue to snuggle the pup whilst the conversation continues. The owner complains about the upcoming ban, I spoke about how he'd almost certainly be able to keep the dog - provided it's muzzled and stuff... general small talk.
He then talks about how he also has a Presa Canario / XLBully cross, which at 160lb has gotten too big and he's trying to give it away, it's too aggressive and can't be controlled, etc, etc.
I'm left him to it after a minute or two, but walked off wondering who in the right ******* mind, crosses a dog of that size and strength (Presa) with an XLbully? I mean how much power and aggression do you need? Really?
I'm experienced with large breeds (Mastiffs) and it just blows my mind, when people are creating dogs like this, you don't need to pull genes from Pitbulls, into dogs like this - which are already strong, especially Presas as they come from an old lineage of fighting dogs.
Just complete berks, there's no hope for some people.
