sometimes I don't even want CSVs legalized in UK. Especially when I meet GSDs and other POTENTIALLY dangerous breeds ( I met a very scared Chihuahua cross recently that tried to bite me) that have been mis-educated by owners who know nothing of dog psychology and don't care anyway. People brought this Chihuahua cross to the animal rescue where I work and thought it funny that their "friend" (probably their dad ) had been sent to prison for hitting a person in the face with a broken beer glass. They said that their tiny lapdog was a hunting dog. Bullshit. The poor thing was aggressive only when a hand was put close to her and it was just so obvious that this dog had been beaten for years. Now it will be virtually impossible to rehome her and she may stay at the rescue long enough for the original owner/abuser to finish his prison sentence and send his friends round to adopt her. I hate people sometimes. I know that the dogs are incapable of hate so it just takes time to win their trust, and increase their confidence but every time they see a stranger it's back to the start.
