Again no offense taken......but I dont think of my dogs as being bad or having bad reps, theyre great dogs and everyone around us knows it. |
I couldnt agree more, I am vary active in Anti BSL, With that being said i also have no problem dressing my dog up as troll or anything else. Its a halloween costume for gods sakes. The only way i could see this as a problem was if some idiot dressed his "agressive,Shy or Insecure" doberman up and let him around the general public. Now that would be a bad idea.
And as far as Resident Evil goes i somehow doubt a Poodle would have had the same effect.I mean its hollywood it isnt real and people who dont understand this have bigger problems then anybody here is gonna be able to fix. A large part of Fighting BSL is to get people to understand that there are no bad dog breeds. only a few individual bad dogs (Most likely perpetuated by bad owners) there are far to many People who dont agree with BSL, who have good dogs that unintentionaly become proponents of the very evil that effects so called agressive breeds We cant fight BSL by hiding behind a wall or keeping our good dogs behind 6' privacy fences we need to get them out in the public and educate. I can tell you for a fact my dogs will be the talk of town the morning after halloween, and not because they ate 15 children the night before. And my dogs are gonna make a Devil costume look like a Cinderella costume. So i say dress your trust worthy dogs up like a lady bug or a dragon or anything else you want and let them be a great ambassador to there breed. I really cant think of a better oppertunity. Just be mindfull of the fear imprint stages might be a bad idea for a pup during this period in there lives. and as far as scareing young kids go. my answer to that is a smurf costume can be scarey to a small child.
