"Go to a dog show. And see that they are not the monsters you read about them in the press."
That this argument made it into the episode infuriated me. Nobody says, that they are 24/7 rage machines - but that they have maintained certain traits that can cause them to suddenly attack in certain circumstances paired with a bite strength and behavior that further aggravates any attack.

And it’s dumb. The dogs that make it to shows are the best behaved. It’s almost like judging disciplinary policy in schools based on the behavior of students in the top private schools. Self-selected groups are not representative of the population.
You realize that the show dogs have the same genetics . If the show dogs are so well behaved it must be the handlers or bad samples of the breed that has nothing to do with the breed standard . Also by your logic you should ban the show dog bully but let the near feral border collie or whatever that might actually bite somebody be legally kept ?
I can’t stop laughing, my sides! Of course they can’t bring their dogs, if they brought their dogs and something happened that would be the end of any support for their cause.
There are other reasons to ban dogs from an event . Like the venue doesn’t want them. Also dogs shit and piss. Imagine having to clean up after hundreds of them

Because I said a thing about self-selected groups being used as representative I am in favor of feral collies in dog shows? Do I have that right?
What if the Bully XL breeders came out in force with their dogs to prove they are safe and non-aggressive?
Oh--wait. The Bully XL enthusiasts are banning bully XLs from their own marches:

OMG.

The kinds of people who own these dogs in the UK correlate very strongly with people who do not clean up after their dogs.
