Devistated....

So I've just found out my previous neighbour who I am friends with her husband has reported
Me for having scarlet and told them I intend to use her to fight and breed fighting dogs! I am gutted to say the least ism beyond sared of getting her taken off me! He told them I should not have this breed as apparently the "
ferocious"! He threatened to take her off me there and then so I said good bye to my friend and
Ran out of her house! I am actually losing sleep and panicking like mad (which doesn't help as I suffer from
Panick attacks and sever anxiety). She is my baby girl and she means the world to me all I can do is cry I'm terrified

Some people are clueless and also heartless, don't worry you and your dog will be fine, it could be even worth reporting him for threatening to take your dog (aggravated theft or threat there of).but speak to your friend first and see if it was just a misunderstanding

Shes the one who text me to tell me he's phoned the RSPCA and they told him there checking me out tomorrow because he made it out like the dog is beig abuse and in danger :/

tbh, you really have nothing to worry about, if the dog's well fed, exercised and isn't aggressive then you have no worries. but i'd steer clear of that ah and probably advise your friend the same

oh and the rspca don't work that fast, they took over 12months in oxfordshire to visit an animal sanctuary that was reported for cruelty then turned up to a lot of dead or starving animals

Awwh bless! Where i stay they usually do I report someone across the road as they were abusing there ABD and they were here next day! I think they respond fast as there are some family's around here that have dog fighting camps and houses set up for it. But for anyone to think I'd do that to an animal is ridculous I love dogs more than life and my girl means the goddamn world to me! I even got upset when my goldfish died! Lol

oh what a nasty man!
don't worry, as long as you tell your side of the story and show the RSPCA how well you really treat your dog, there is no evidence of dog fighting in your house, you can even show them this forum so they know you are looking out for the well being of your pup all the time.
you have nothing to worry about so long as you stay away from that guy!

lol, you'll be fine. there's no reason for them to be there, they may even offer help toward neutering cost or micro chipping. but don't worry, all should be fine. just sit down with them and calmly talk your way through, you'd be surprised at what a help they can be when not bogged down in paperwork and the such

Yeah I wouldn't give her up without a fight either! I just feel annoyed and upset the guy has known me for 2 years why he is doing this I do not know! My partner had 2 staffies go for him as there owners had obvisoly trained them to go for people, but yet when I got scarlet he changed his tune and understands how much love they give! Just don't know why people can't be as understanding as my partner

i can only assume at the time you first posted, it's most likely drink related. some people can be right w8n*rs when they have had a few

No idea Steve but he knows how much I love her she's been in my life nearly 3 months I'd be heartbroken if she went

then you've nothing to worry about, if the rspca show up then you show them you are a responsible owner, then just stay away from that narrow minded idiot, i know it's your friends oh but he sounds like a right t*@t, if i lived there i'd like to see what he made of marley at around 19-20 kg and fighting to lick you to death

Lol lick f death!!!! It's not him I'm friends with I think
He's an * anyways it s only his wife I'm friends with. But I find it funny how I've had abuse on the street and family and friends complain about a nearly 9 week staffy lol

you truly have nothing to worry over, staff's that are raised correctly are the most loving loyal dogs, people like him should be ignored or if he does it again then harassment and victimization , for which he should be arrested

Yeah he need to have a read on here! So does a lot of people I know!

Not being funny , but sounds like he may be straight off an episode of the Jeremy Kyle show, obviously a comnplete k@@b that could do with a couple of slaps to bring him back down to earth. Unless you've a history of taking part in dog fighting I can't understand where he would come up with this idea from and it sounds to me like he just wants to scare you away , do you have a really close relationship with your friend , is there not a bit of someone just trying to drive you away in this one. People with no brains normally retaliate in ways like this as they are incapable of talking

Dave - yeah i have known my friend for a year and vist each other alot! I dont know why he was fine with my lab when we had him, but now we have scarlet he seems to have blown off the handle about it all! i never really liked him but yesterday he was just damn right rude! speeching me about i should have a dangerous breed and and i have no right to have her!!!! Atleast i look up the breed i wanted first! and no he knows damn well i dont have a history of dog fighting! id be the one to report it not be part or compete in any dog fighting its just wrong!

laura honestly dont worry about it. you have a baby in your house not a big nasty dog. so long as they can see you are looking after the dog and it well cared for they will not take her away. staffies are not a banned breed here so they have no just cause.

I would surely be giving the twit a wide berth..some 'people' just love to stir up trouble. Yes he may be jealous because you and his wife get on so well.. What a moron..I would say you have nothing to worry about too...try not to worry too much, though I can understand how upsetting this is for you.

What a D**K i agree with steve you should report him for threating you. They won't take Scarlet away

dont worry about it it will come to nothing

My goodness what ignorant people exist in the world. Does this person have children? If so you should report them to the social services for child abuse-they certainly work a lot faster then the RSPCA!
There hasn't been any genuine dog fighting in england for almost a century (I don't mean scummy idiots in back alleys but proper organised pits)
I really feel for you having to put up with so many uneducated, newspaper munching morons. Remind me never to go to Leeds! (Unless it was to meet Scarlet of course )
I haven't heard anything so ridiculous since a woman in the park said she loved staffies but wouldn't have one around the children because of 'lockjaw.' I kindly informed her that lockjaw is a bacterial infection and no living animal alive is capable of 'locking' it's jaws as they are organic flesh and blood and not machines.
I would understand if you kept your dog tied to a treadmill in a basement but to report someone just because they dislike your personal choice of dog breed is extreme and reactive to say the least. I've never understood people with a vendetta agaisnt certain dog breeds-I can understand (just about) someone disliking dogs in general but to hate a certain type that much just doesn't make any sense to me.
Its like me going around denouncing all black cats to be witches familiars and burning them on bonfires but stopping to stroke ginger ones.

ethan was out with ruby n murfy last week on the field where i take them everyday he was in trackies and t shirt with baseball cap on the dogs were being themselves playing but some nosey parker reported him for training them to fight the police turned up sirens screeching charged onto the field ethan automatcally called dogs to him put them on lead thinking something else was going on the police approached him very slowly ruby and murfy were both sat at ethans feet wagging there tails like mad the officers just laughed but because he had baseball cap n trackies they assumed the same people who reported him see me everyday with the dogs and there no diffrent with me but they just assumed he was a thug because of baseball cap bloody idiots

What a horrible situation you are in. The bloke is a total w'*@ker!!
As has been said in previous posts if anyone from RSPCA does visit you, you have nothing to worry about. They will see that Scarlet is loved and well cared for.

People can threaten other people about whatever, as much as they want. When it comes down to do it, if solid prove doesn't meet any threats when investigated, the person making the threat looks a god damn fool. You got nothing to worry about. I really feel for all those that get grief about their dogs.

Had someone come this morning and she laughed lol and told me she was young and healthy little pup! Although just found out she has a hernia where here umbilical cord was so she checked it but said its nothing to worry about but told her she at beta on Friday

Glad it all seems to have worked itself out

Glad it all worked out but I would sure as hell re-assess the relationship with those so called friends!

Report him to the police for beating his wife. >

Honestly, why do people jump on the media bandwagon .. I hate sheep ! I would throw a comment to the next person to say it's a dangerous dog, something like questioning them with 'Have you seen this breed on the dangerous dog register then ? Since when did you become a f.....g professional ?'. Idiots !

glad there is a happy ending

Glad everything is fine ><

far out ...unbelievable !! did the cops give your doggies a pat after all that ?!

Wow! I am sorry I didn't see this till just now. So many idiots out there. Glad everything is ok. I just wish that they would prosecute people for blatant slander. Madening. Sorry you had to go through all that and with a so-called friend...

yeah he came round to apologise but i told him where to go! i said if you wont and cant love my dog then im sorry i dont think we can be friends no longer and closed the door in his face . i told him to do his research before he goes slandering and accusing me of actions i would never think of! im glad thw woman i was got so nice she even offered me a rescue staffy! i would have had the rescue if i could but unfortunatly my landlor donly lets me have 1 dog!

appollo13102000 - that offal why do people thing everyone who wears trackies and caps have to have dangerous dogs! my partner gets funny look cos he wears trackies and a cap all the time but he shrugs off anything said to him lol

glad to hear he's seen sense, and needs to think before running his mouth off.

Hide her if needed.

Jeeeze!! People have nothing better to do!! .. We got reported once because vinnie barked at next door's cat .. The woman said he attacked her cat :0 only hours later she didnt expect rspca at her door her cat was in the house asleep without a scratch!!!

kelly: LOL what an a$$, no one can make that excuse to mine as scarlet lives with a cat and she does no harm to them

But yeah im glad everything was ok i was really panicking! But now i have to get this umblical hernia seen to as the woman said i should get it checked

my matthew you can guarentee will get stopped by the police if there are any about why!!! cos he wears a hoodie. he doesnt have the hood up but aparently he looks like a criminal. its judging abook by its cover and the number of scum bag pigs messign the world up for the rest of us decent people

what a nasty person ... he clearly reads too much of the trashy papers and cant form his own opinion by experience

Just seen all this, gee me, what idilots!!!!!!!!!!
If our staffys were the fighting breed, how come any Pet Insurance will let us insurance? They are on the ok list for insurance, down as safe dogs.

Interesting point!!!

the first foster for Herman had a neighbor popped off at the lip when Herman barked. said pit bulls were illegal. idiot obviously doesn't think. not only are breed bans prohibited in Minnesota, but there are cops that own them.

Dont let it worry you this man sounds realy nasty.Im sure the rspca will see that the dog is well looked after.They should do him for wasting the rspca time

i love leah and lois wrote:They should do him for wasting the rspca time

good point
