All it takes it one rogue when they're packed up.
I see two Rottie mixes and two Shepherd mixes, a Dobie in the back and a pit-type, maybe a second behind the chocolate lab. That's enough to ruin your day, permanently. Dude is crazy to have that many rescues, period... let alone this crew.

I see one rot, one pit, one dobie and one smiling boxer. Rest are lab, shepard and malinois mixes. Ironic that out of all those "vicious" breeds..I can almost bet money that the malinois is the aggressive one they are referring too. Pits are nothing compared to a malinois.

They should charge the owner. Dutch shepards and belgian malinois are two of the most aggressive and protective dog breeds you could get. He never should have had a child taking care of that many dogs, let alone ones of "vicious" high energy breeds that have been sitting in a cage all day for lord knows how long. That is a recipe for disaster just waiting to happen.

No one else wants to take care of them at this point.
The poor boy had been caring for the dogs for a year!

in the back on the right those two look like Belgians, one just about took my bosses wife out when she came up behind me & grabbed me by the shoulders while it was under the iron table of a seaside restaurant. iI literally pulled the table a good 6 feet and I leapt on its back to stop it. They are protective and territorial & knew as his parents were weekend regulars I was the Goddess bringer of bacon

Do we even know that the photo which DD members are talking about is the actual dogs vs a stock photo?

ಠ_ಠ
Yes, in the linked article the photos of the dogs are credited to 3dogsrunning.com, which is the owner Scott Dunmore's website. Although it may not have been these exact dogs (I think I see a few variances in the other pack photos he has posted), it's definitely not a stock photo.

I checked before I posted the first time lol it is indeed a photo of his dogs. Not necessarily the dogs that he had on the property at the time, but yeah 3dogsrunning.com is his website for his dog training

The top banner rotates and if you look at I think its the third picture, the one with the dogs and turtle, you can see how many malinois he's got. Astounding amount.
@ChaosKitty The black shepard is the dutch shepard and the one that looks like a german shepard, thats the malinois. Not the ones in the back.

that's why the photo doesn't mean much.
But if they put them all down as a precaution I won't worry.

He definitely has a proclivity for malinois, almost all of his photo's contain one. I'd almost bet money that he owns the dogs who bit the kid buuuuuut there's nothing saying that he owned all those dogs at the kennel that day. I'd be furious if I paid a trainer to take my dog and train it only to find out it was put down because someone else's dog mauled a kid to death while the trainer I was paying was absent and my dog was in a kennel and not involved.
It should be noted that not only does he train for things like puppy training etc..he's a certified decoy in the only 4 legal dog biting sports still left. His site blatantly tells you that he uses his own dogs to participate in these sports as well. His malinois are trained to attack...

the Belgian I literally rode like a horse had black very short tight curly hair & was one that they use them as police dogs over there, it was that big and figured they were close. Solid muscle, whatever all these dogs any single one of them never should have been left to a ten lt alone all of them imo. Just read your last post,, yeah, the ones that are trained to attack would be deadly unless they considered the person theirs so 10 times worse.

Those are belgian's not belgian malinois. There are 3 variety of belgians, but malinois are the only variety that have short, straight hair. They are the ones that look like german shepards. The other 2 versions come with wire hair or longer hair and don't look the same as a malinois.

uh huh. And he hired a teen boy to caretake them for a year before the kid was mauled.
I think the fact that the dogs were usually penned is the only reason there were no complaints.
Lucky coincidence for the owner for a long time, and now it has backfired in the worst way.
I own one dog, 8 cats, 20 geese, 4 sheep and a few other animals. I won't leave my property for more than a day in order to safeguard my animals who don't want to harm anyone. But the dog might nip and the geese def attack if provoked. But I'm there to make sure even my pleasant pets are not a problem.
I don't get the confidence of some people who have potentially dangerous animals and leave them to others' care.

I missed that. I thought "decoy" was some kind of jargon, even though I am familiar with its use to describe fake waterfowl carved from wood or blow-molded from various thermoplastics and used to fool real waterfowl into flying within range of a hunter armed with a shotgun who seeks to eat duck or goose for dinner.
So in these dog-biting sports he's a fake bad guy.

@Muriel Schwenck That's the part that infuriates me the most. That he, as a trainer with some beefy certifications that should have taught him better, left a child to take care of dogs that he knows are highly energetic, aggressive and possessive.
Most of the breeds visible in his picture are single person bonders. They don't bond with multiple people. They will love a family and protect them, but there is only 1 that they consider "the boss" and "theirs". A lab for example bonds with everyone the same and will bond with anyone. A boxer on the other hand bonds to one person, even though they will fawn over almost anyone and can love a family..they only really bond to one.
Single bonding dogs are notorious for switching from personal protectors into property/space protectors when the person they bonded with is absent. It's like if they cant protect their owner they will protect what is their owners until they come back. They will bite even people they are familiar and normally friendly with in an effort to "protect". It's recommended for quite a few breeds to house them in kennels vs having someone come take care of them in their own home for that reason. A familiar face can turn into an intruder in their own space. He of all people should haven know that.

Belgian Tervuren not near as scary as the malinois.

No. You do not own 8 cats. You have 8 cats that share ownership of you.

The boy might not have ever tended to these dogs by himself. Growing up, a man who worked with my dad had a side business raising and training German Shepherds. We didn't have him train ours, but he explained the way Sudonim did that they bond with one person which was him and then there was a process to handing them off to the owner. Personally, I wouldn't want mine trained that way because I would never feel completely comfortable with the animal. The man in this story should never have allowed anyone else to tend to the dogs, imho.

In this World, Anger is Necessary.
Owner should have known better. I have 4 puppers and the 2 half terrier/chihuahuas are the ones that are the most aggressive, thank god those little cholas are only like 8lbs each otherwise i can't imagine the damage they'd be capable of.
