Watsons in Owen Sound....you might want to look into your units...they have a life time warranty...i had one unit go down three times during a derby and Ford (president) asked me where i was as i was on my way to Owen Sound for repairs and he said to stop in Underwood at Huron Rod and Gun and told them over the phone to replace it ....GREAT service! The issue i had with mine was due to a fualty gear that kept chewing up a worm gear in the mechanics....they were too fast for their own good...but the problem was recognized and corrected ...Never had anothe issue in almost ten years now

beautiful dog ckrb2007 ..have you tried him with a Frisbee? IF you do dont forget your camera to capture his awesomeness Its about time to Vets are taking a stand and refuse to put down a dog that had an incident in Montreal..A detruction order is in effect and the "pound" refuse to kill this dog...Ontario needs to get with it regarding our BSL... Heres the link http://www.examiner.com/article/facility-refuses-to-kill-wicca-the-dog

This is a letter from Ontario's president Dr Dale Scott, DVM of Ontario Veterinary Medical Association to Dalton McGuinty....notice the date...McGuinty has still not responded to it.... http://www.ovma.org/pdf/oepnletter_bill16_may12.pdf

your right Bill to an extent....accepting an AB for example also means your accepting the responsibility that comes with ANY large dog socializing the people that come in contact with your dog is just as important as socializing the dog itself....if an owner of a dog senses any signs of unrest in the animal or person...simply crate the dog or put it in a bedroom...just because a certain dog looks like something that dosnt exist...is that reason to euthanize them all out of the province..and strip dog owners of their constitutional rights.maybe the target should be on the puppy mills and bloodsports people..Farming animals applies federal inspections apply it to breeders and punish anyone else.No dog should ever be 100% trusted regardless of its breed or size...punish the deed should an incident happen...not a certain breed that doesnt exist and owners of a breed that "looks like" it

First im truely sorry your daughter and you had to experience this in her life...but the problem lies not with the dog...but the owner for giving you a false sense of security....a responsible owner KNOWS their dog and should be held liable...if the owner had any doubts of how his animal would react to someone or something...then he should have taken measures to ensure the safety of his guests and his dog....I know my dog will chase a squirrel...its my job to make sure it doesnt get the opportunity to do so. Kind of like a 4 year old kid that needs constant monitoring... i agree if a dog is troubled and shows any signs of aggression towards humans and cant be rehabilitated then it is time to say good bye...there is a responsibility that comes with a dog ...more than just feeding it and picking up its pooh...IM glad you still have it in your heart to still be a dog lover...but based on that one dog...do you think EVERY dog of that breed should be eliminated from the planet? or any dog that might look like that dog? same colour? Some breeds that have been ALREADY been identified as "PIT BULLS" in Ontario are Boston Terrier, Bull Terrier. Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dogo Argentino/ Mastiff Mix, Great Dane/Whippit Mix, Hungarian Vizla, Huskey or Boarder Collie Mix with Lab, Labrador Retriever, (paying attention fishinmortician?)does it effect you now? Labrador Retriever/Boxer Mix, Neopolitan Mastiff, and Various Mixes of Boxer and Lab with something else.... and now the Minden additions of Rotties/Mix and Mastiffs/Mix So what does all this mean....it means ....IF you own any of these dogs or anything that "LOOKS" like these dogs...YOU fall into the DDLA (Dangerous Dog Liability Act) which means ...no warrant to come into your house and take your dog from you and your family...and makes you a second class citizen because it violates your rights on a constitutional level for at least 7 reasons because ...like it or not....YOUR DOG IS A PIT BULL (which isnt even a BREED of dog) SO if your Dog "might possibly" resemble ANY of these dogs.....Welcome to the "CLUB" Do you have a dog in your family now?

Dog Bite Related Fatalities in Canada (January 1983 to February 2012) with a brief description of the incidents...is it a co-incidence that non of the cause of deaths state that the attacks were caused by "looked like a pit bull" When you consider that a large number of these attacks occurred in northern communities with little or no animal control, sometimes on First Nations reserves, is it surprising that the dogs involved are northern types of dogs? As you read through these accounts, it should become apparent that breed is not the issue. Circumstance is the key. Children not supervised. Dogs running loose or breaking loose. Dogs chained in areas where wandering children could enter. Dog/child interactions not supervised. These things are what caused the deaths of the children in particular, not what type of dog was involved. Here is the list updated as of February 29, 2012: Mar 1983.

Here is a list of the MPPS for your riding and how they voted https://www.facebook.com/groups/4933139330/doc/10150818555314331/ Cheers

Maybe this will hit a little closer to home for you fishingmortician...read this story...your dog is registered but do you deserve to have to go through what this family went through? http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/articles/breedbanslabradormistake.htm

Here are the facts...knowledge is everything...and your dogs life depends on you knowing it...being a responsible dog owner is knowing as much as you can...Its one thing to teach your dog to "play dead" but its another thing for the government to make it a reality http://supporthersheysbill.com/the-truth-about-breed-specific-legislation-bsl/

You get to decide if your dog has a certain breed mixed in by proving it in court after they seize your dog because an officer doesnt know the difference ....or it can be put down It took me three trys to pick the right dog in this scenario....and i always thought i had a trained eye,,,give it a shot and see how you do... http://www.pbrc.net/poppysplace/games/AdultFindabull/findpitbull_v4.html

When your children grow up make sure you teach them to only fall in love with a puppy that comes with papers I have papers for my AB too for lineage...but those papers dont apply beacause he still "looks" like a pitbull (which isnt even a breed) so that means i would have to get DNA on my dog to compar to a dog breed that doesnt exsist DO you have kids> does it effect you later on in life?

I am each and every one of you on this forum that owns a dog ( i have two) Im responsible with them and I have never advocated in my life for ANYTHING in my life...after following the "Lennox" story i became intrigued with the callousness of the BCC (Belfast City Counsel)decision to terminate the Lennox (American Bulldog) based on the laws they have stating that he "looks" like a pitbull (BSL)...They had ample opportunities to save face for their people and the City of Belfast to shine as heros through out the world if they had of accepted countless offers from world renowned experts and celebrities to re-home the dog in the USA...They Killed the dog anyways destroying a little girls heart and devastating the family that fought for two years for the love of their pet....so i took it upon myself to see how bad our laws are right here in Ontario...Guess what ...Our Laws are very very similar to theirs over seas...Well i thought ...this cant happen here...WE ARE CANADA...we dont do stuff like that....ooops Guess what?!?!...I found Philip Huggins case and it went dead....me being me found him and called him up...nice guy! He seemed more then happy to just drive 3 hours to my place to tell his story...Blew me away the horrors that BSL has put on his life.Philip and Ginger are the very first BSL victims in Ontario. With his determination and love for his dog,,,he wouldnt back down ( Just like Lennox's family didnt) Hundreds of thousands of taxpayers money went to Gingers case because it was the first...3 and half years Ginger sat in prison while superstar lawyers sorted out the law that was only thrown in for votes as a smoke screen "Panic Policy" hoping that Huggins would give up or roll over and "play dead"...wasnt going to happen!!! His life gets turned inside out and upside down for loving the "wrong" breed of dog and having an incident happen beyond his control....SO essentially I (and you) AM HUGGING and my American Bulldog is Lennox and so is yours with the growing additions to be added to BSL.. the I AM LENNOX Campaign Around the World is set up to let BSL know....it is going down like the thousands of innocent dogs it has already killed ( Hersheys Law in Ontario)....Its obvious this subject has become near to my heart that it surprises me too that i would ever appeal to OFC and its members to please....

thats part of the problem....not many people are qualified to determine...all it takes ia a call ....and the ONUS is on you to prove your pet isnt a certain breed...meanwhile your dog is incarcerated @ your expence for up to 30 days while your working to save your dogs life ....if you dont make it in time....i hope you have deep pockets...or you didnt care about your dog to start with ...because an order of destruction will be started and ...kiss your dog good bye or get a second mortgage...Im not trying to fear monger here...Its the LAW!

Bill that is an Amendment for the area of Midland....to add to the BSL list that these dogs will have to comply to the same rules of the pitbull and pitbull type as under the dangerous dog act....this means ....if you own a dog described in the amendment...and someone calls in to complaint about your dog....they have the right to walk in your house without a warrant and seize your dog....if you resist you are liable to the same punishments as the Pit Bull/"TYPES" owners have been exposed to for the last 7 years..Families have been destroyed..It took two reading in the House to bring this Bullcrap into our lives and as of feb this year the second reading has passed to get rid of it ....its goes to the committee now ....so its very important that EVERYONE makes some noise NOW because if it gets refused.... fighting BSL will have to start all over again...AND THE LIST IS GETTING BIGGER watch this...its actually kind of commical in OUR house

For the Hamilton People Advocate John Zernikel is organizing a World Wide Walk for "The world is my Voice * Lennox* "Hope for Change" Pit bull Walk Saturday July 21 2012 @ 1 pm @ City Hall St. Catharines on Church Street. Hope to see you at this Rally/Walk for change. If interested let John know. To Quote John "bring your Pit bulls & ALL BREEDS ARE WELCOME to spend a day with me. End this ban on Pit bulls NOW, we are not ashamed of them, for we are the voice of change".

here is the short and simple of it from someone that has been fighting this battle for 7 years since it became legislation "Alice Chiasson asks... someone told me today this whole BSL thing was started when McGuinty's maid was chased by a boxer, but she identified it as a pit bull. Is that right? Sunday at 9:18pm Supporting Cheri DiNovo In Removing All Aspects of BSL In Ontario replies The main culprit of Ontario Breed Ban law was the then Attn General Michael Bryant. He was getting so much flak for the poor job he was doing and the high crime rate, then came a couple of incidents and the bank wagon began. It worked the focus was then on the dogs and the main press bought into the buzz. It really was just a sound bite for a publicly happy politician. Dalton was the idiot leader that followed suit and supported him in this endeavor. Dalton has a pit bull type dog as a child so he knows better but thought this law would get him some votes BIG MISTAKE."

BSL comming to a town near you....Bull Mastiffs and Rotties...welcome to death row in Midland Ontario SCHEDULE ‘A’ TO AMENDING BY-LAW 99-64 Pit Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Pit Bull, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, or any dog of mixed breeding which includes any of the aforementioned breeds. Rottweiler or any dog of mixed breeding which includes the aforementioned breed. Any member of the Mastiff dog family or any dog of mixed breeding which includes the aforementioned breed. (Amending By-law 2001-22) G J MacDonald DO you still believe this doesnt effect you??? think again... edit to add the link..just in case someone in the Midland area has a dog http://calendar.county.simcoe.on.ca/partners/midland/media/files/Dogs.pdf

think ill go snowblow the laneway...

Now that your all grown up...you can start to loose fish like the rest of us Team 7 is counting on it!! Happy B Day young man

Jer im sorry you had to go through this and even worse lost the dog....If Paco had of bitten the lady then it still wouldnt warrant his death maybe some mandatory behavioral rehabilitation or there would be a pile of Chiwawas higher then the CN Tower. But as you said...he didnt even bite her...I know they are Dogs not humans...but the dogs in our house are harmless family Members...everyone that meets Paxton absolutley loves him and i actually consider it an honour that i now have a Picture of with Philip Huggins with my dog that i took last night when he was here at my house...He had NO IDEA as to the Plight of Lennox of the on goings since this little dogs death..its actually AMAZING the support around the world and Ontario is the ONLY province in Canada to be SHAMED for having BSL...way to go MCSQUITY your going to put Ontario as a whole on the Map for the wrong reasons...unless you do the right thing and PUSH HERSHYS LAW into effect immediately. I wonder if the Belfast City Council are regretting the decision they made from the world backlash on them...I know the people of Northern Ireland are regretting their decision when so many high profile people like Cesar Millan and Gloria Stilwell offered the opportunity for them to be HEROES of the world but they chose ZEROES....If you live in Toronto and love your dog or your rights as a Canadian...bring it down..your dogs need a walk anyways...show your support on their behalf..I dont care which party brought BSL into legislation but it was a Liberal Party and i dont care which Party gets BSL out of legislation because the leaders of the Ontario crusade are from all three Parties...BSL is wrong! Plain and simple...Look into your dogs eyes and try to explain to them why its right...because they dont have a voice...is the only reason you wont here a rebuttal... Philip Huggins with Paxton last night at my house on the front lawn If you want to educate yourself on the up comming events here is a good start for links to everything pertinent to Ontario http://www.facebook.com/Supporting.Hersheys.Bill you wont have to look Far from there to see how the world is changing from a dog named Lennox... Hopefully the little Belfast American Bulldog will end BSL for you and your breed too... Cheers

Yes its sad the Labs i see that are shaped like a barrel with hair and legs...THOSE people should be evaluated as to abuse of an animal...The BEST exercise for your lab is ...let it swim...just like the Goldens they will love you for it ...there is a reason they have hollow hair fibre...my dogs get an extreme hard 1/2 hour workout almost every day and walked countless times...my motto is ...an exhausted dog is happy dog...and it doesnt hurt me either

I dont want this to sound harsh by any means ...but if you believe your statement because of your black lab...you better do your homework on the subject...there are 75 breeds of dogs listed on the BSL lists in North America...even Golden Retreivers....it isnt the BREED its the DEED and irresponsible owners that just so happen to use " pit bull type " dogs because they do possess some capabilities.. it used to be ROTTIES DOBBIE GERMAN SHEPARDS but ...PITBULLS and THEIR TYPE just so happen to be lovable when they arent doing what they are trained to do by irresponsible people so they are more pleasant to have around If someone was to use the dog for illegal activities....if anyone makes a report about your dog for what ever reason and they say the word PIT BULL TYPE then yes....they can and will kick your doors in and peel your dog away from your family....then the onus is on YOU to prove your dog isnt a pitbull...(which violates your rights as a Canadian)...sure they can see the dog looks like a lab...but the police do not have the qualifications to make that judgement so your dog is incarcerated for up to 30 days while they sort it out....now the problem with PIT BULL or PIT BULL TYPE dogs is ...they do have alot of similarities to the untrained eye so its easier to LUMP them into one catagory ( i used to have a Lab Cross that had doberman markings,,,,one cromozone way fron being on a kill list...i just had Philip Huggins here at my house last night and if you think he has had an easy life because of Breed Specific Legislation then you are mistaken Here is a link for Philip Huggins plight http://www.dlcc.ca/ginger.html so if you dont think your rights as a dog owner are not in violation with BSL then you are living under a rock (sorry to say that)...Ill be there this saturday at 1 oclock with my American Bulldog to protest for your rights if you cant make it ...ill proudly make the 3 hour drive for you...if you can make it ...the dogs in the picture above will be with me...make sure you say hi...Im not a "bleeding heart activist" by any means but if you do...do your homework on the subject you will see why i will be there....seriously ...glance at the pictures....but READ and understand the literature that goes with them. Cheers!

Now that is kicking arse in a serious way....nice shootin!
