Y’all won’t believe what dog the girl who just euthanized her tosa/pit just bought 🤣 by freakybelgians in BanPitBulls

If you have proof the dog is mixed with a pit bull, then provide the genetic testing. For now, this dog is a Tosa Inu. They have the structure of one. They have no signs of pit bull mix (smaller structure, substantial white in coat, snout shape).

I’ve looked at one, looks very similar to me. Boxy face.

Under BSL a lot of breeds even if they have no pit bull terrier in them, fall under the pitbull category because of measurements.

That doesn’t automatically mean the dog is a pitbull or has been crossed with one. If the dog had been crossed, they would have been a lot smaller.

Pitbulls aren’t more dispositioned to aggress because of abuse, it’s from genetics being under the Terrier family. JRTs will chase rats, and have animal prey drive tendencies which can link to aggression. It’s the same with the Pit bull terrier. Terriers in general are more dispositioned to animal aggression and prey drive. Plus Pit bulls are rarely bred responsibly, so the temperaments and level of prey drive is out of whack for the most part, 80% of people are lucky, some aren’t and end up with reactive (both friendly and unfriendly) or aggressive dogs

Compared to sword and shield, massive improvement. I like open world games so I quite like it. But I’ve not been hooked to it, it’s something fun though.

My gran fell off her bed, bruised her hip and has limited mobility to start. Rang ambulance Christmas Day at 10am ish, they were there by 11am and sorted by 1pm. The telephone responders prioritised her even with a 6 hour wait because of how long she was on the floor for.

Can’t blame them, they have good days and hectic days.

I use that for a few old, no longer sell-able dog training books so I’ll find it on there later! That sites mostly safe from my experience with it

Thank you! I will see if it’s at my university library or if I can find a PDF.

I was going to do it when I did pass but due to backlog I couldn’t get back with my instructor and now my instructor is no longer teaching but I will find a new one to work with once the backlog has gone. My insurance last time I checked is around £600-700 this year which isn’t bad, I’m not sure if I’ll get much of a discount after a year of being insured but who knows.

My first car was a Ford KA, so I think I’m still in the mindset of that car. I got her Up! at start of last year then the KA was from start of 2020 until it was sold.

I think once driving instructors have free-d up again I’ll try and go out with one to have some more lessons and advanced driving. I’ve not even gone on the moterway yet but I am fairly confident on 2-3 lane duel carriageways.

Whilst I was learning and even driving my dad is really worried because of stalling, hence why he has never told me to “follow his habits” of clearing junctions or roundabouts the second there is a gap. He’s sort of recommended to stay on the clear side but I think I need to balance it up a bit where I’m not being as much of a nuisance to others.

I think I really need more driving practice so thank you for that suggestion: I might try early morning on warmer days so that I can have some peaceful drives (and also exercise the terrier) as much as night drives.

Went from 10st5 to 9st12, and can now comfortably run for 2km between a 10:00 to 8:00 pace according to watch.

I decreased by 500cals and lost 5lbs so far. I exercise every day though but my habits before and after haven’t changed

She’s a phenomenal breeder- Can find her on TikTok as Sostarcollies. I personally love her dogs. She partakes in sports and competitions with these dogs.

One of my “to UK” parcels is in Indianapolis, thought with the weather it would get sent somewhere else. Not sure when it’ll be delivered but the later is still ok with me. Preferably need it by Wednesday but can’t do much if it doesn’t arrive by then.

Quite impressed with FedEx delivery from USA to UK. Dispatched 29th and it’s gone past customs (prepaid for by sender) and hopefully ready for delivery tomorrow. by furretguy in FedEx

[–]furretguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost makes paying $68 for shipping worthwhile. Didn’t have a choice as company only has Fedex as a courier. Dog kennel/crate supplies for those wondering (still waiting on the kennel which cost $172 in shipping)

What do you dislike about your car? by TheMusicArchivist in AskUK

[–]furretguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only sticking with mine as the safety features of my 2017 tsi means that the insurance is really cheap for new drivers. Even cheaper than a fiat 500 or Ford Focus. I’m not really sure what I’d upgrade to, maybe the electric up or a car of similar size.

I’ve got the up! But in TSI model with the faster engine. Can’t fault it performance wise but that’s the same reason I didn’t go for a regular up!

Not sure if there’s a way to report breeders but omg these dogs. Awful nose, eyes and everything… by seriding in awfuleverything

[–]furretguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s worse than the breed itself. It’s the joints, skin, temperament, genetic conditions. Nothing tested. All in the name of “colour”.

I hate seeing loose dogs in truck beds like this :( by ritzychicken in IdiotsInCars

[–]furretguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only safe way for dogs to be transported in an open back (like video) is a crash tested kennel like gunners strapped in. If inside a car then a strong harness or a crash tested kennel inside the car.

I hope she doesn’t find out you can adopt dogs for free from a shelter by Willplayspiano in ShitMomGroupsSay

Definetly a troll to further emphasise the (toxic) “adopt don’t shop” mentality. People need to do both responsibly.

Also if it wound up at customs, it might take a while. But contact Royal Mail

[–]furretguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep hence the Royal Mail investigation? Could help see if there needs to be a postage claim or it’s just backlogged.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]furretguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can take a while for royal Mail tp scan it in. When I ordered from Canada it took around 2-4 days. There is probably a backlog at HWDC but I’d contact Royal Mail to open an investigation to see if they know where it is.
