Is it time to DNA dogs?

If they can't stop people using a phone when driving then i don't see "crap control" working :rolleyes:

I feel the same about some people...can we cull them too?

Do you hear of many cases of disease contracted from dogs?
Not possible diseases....actual cases.

*Edit* There's far less dog dirt around these days than when I was a kid.
Besides, don't most nutjob parents practically bathe their darlings in Dettox these days?

I didnt think much of Hong Kong last time I was there, maybe we should ...oh wait :thinking:
 
When we got a dog, the deal was my wife would clean up any mess in the garden. So the dog has learnt to go in the garden before I walk it, which minimises any poo I have to pick up.

How about horses. Around our way their irresponsible owners allow them to mess everywhere, on the roads, pavements, walkways to schools etc. Can we include prosecuting their owners in this brave new world?
 
But as has been said on various threads of these types, only the responsible owners will get them chipped.
So no way will you get them to take the dogs to a vet to get a DNA sample ( but as already mentioned its not fool proof anyway)

And can you imagine a Similar agency to traffic wardens, better idea issue the PCSO's with scanners to scan every dog they see,
that'll keep them occupied!

Oh wait a minute there are at least 2 and possibly 3 types of chips and the scanners don't cross read, so they need to scan a dog up to 3 times.

So they can't scan them? You mean the owners won't stand still long enough?

Well issue them with little plastic bags, so they can collect evidence, from the dog poo, issue them with camera's so they can take
pictures of the offending dogs arse......

I think I may have just found a practical use for the pcso's :thumbs:

Have another read at what I wrote. It was a response to Ruth's idea "I suggest we DNA profile every human and hold them accountable for their own feckwittery before worrying about dogs.".
Therefore, my suggestion was in relation to every human .................... 1984 and that sort of thing. Do you follow - monitor the whole population because that is road we are heading down.
 
dog mess is pretty foul especially on pavements in urban areas, in the dark its just awful to step in it.
unfortunately its like drunk drivers there is a hard core of people who just couldn't give a s***.

Ruth wasn't actually suggesting it though, it was a reductio ad absurdum. And I read ChasG's post in the same manner. I think your humour/sarcasm detector needs its batteries checking.
 
We have dog wardens up here ,,if they spot you not picking up after your dog it's a £75 on the spot fine ,I was out earlier this year birdwatching and the warden came up to me and asked to borrow my binoculars ,as she was trying to catch a repeat offender near to our local castle/beauty spot . The dog owner had six large dogs and by the time he got back to his brand new 4x4 she had written out six tickets ..
We always pick up after our dog and dispose of properly it's not hard

Excellent :thumbs:
TBH I'm sans pooch at the moment but I also agree with the flick it or pick it idea.
I used to walk mine far from the madding crowd, in which case it was a flick it into dense shrubbery, brambles and the like, IF I had to walk in a public area, it would then of course be pick it.
Most of the public areas, around here, have dog bins in them, so easy to drop it in one of those, rather than hang it from a tree, that's pretty disgusting IMO!

I can't understand the tree hangers It's your dog, you take its poo home.

Oh don't be so damned disgusting :p

I'm surprised that the Barbour / hunter wearing brigade actually bother to pick it up in the first place in case they chip a nail ;)
But as I said, certainly around here in public area's there are enough dog bins to drop it in as you walk by.

If you think it's disgusting, maybe you shouldn't have a dog!
If there aren't any bins, or you can't be bothered to walk to one, take it home and pop it in the bin there.

I can not think of anything else in my daily life that winds me up quite as much as dog s***! One of the reasons I don't have a dog is I don't want to pick up s*** and here I am picking someone else's up!

We need dog licences with chipping and DNA.

You're not going to be able to get a full DNA profile from dog s*** as its full of bacteria.

Technically you could get a partial one through Mitochondrial DNA but this will sequence from the Y Chromosome, the female side only. Not the male side. It's an extremely expensive process and even there was a national doggy DNA database (NDDNADB) it wouldn't work for that reason.

I think you missed the irony in that post :p
As per #52 I don't have a dog at present, and made my feelings perfectly clear on the subject in that post.

I have hunter wellies as well as a Barbour, but try not to upset my manicurist too much :D
 
It should be called the
Dog Identification (and) Poo Sampling (for) Targeted Intelligence (and) Canine Knowledge

DIPSTICK


Or the
British Universal Managed System (for) Analysis Measurement Processing (and) Local Enforcement

BUM SAMPLE
 
What do kids do theses days with not much dog poo about,we used flick it with an stick at your mates,and when it went dry it made great hand grenades for war games :D

Exactly. Man the times my dog stinks of fox poo, or rabbit dropping, or I walk into cow dung.

Wake up call to everyone. Animals don't just go to the toilet, in nature it really shouldn't be an issue. Urban areas where they walk on the lead and generally no other animals are around fair enough.

Now come on.....how long were you sitting with a pencil and paper working on those? :lol:

They stopped making cheap dog food with bone meal, and people don't feed bones to their dogs anymore.
Now it's all dentasticks and other processed guff. :(

Dip Stick took about a minute. Bum sample (which I'm very proud of) took a couple more.

This might be an totally stupid question but is there an obvious difference between dog poo and fox poo. Foxes are pretty common in urban areas, there are plenty of foxes around the park local to us and I've also seen plenty around the streets so when I have seen or had to clear up poo where my kids are playing I have often wondered if it was foxes rather than inconsiderate dog owners.

The real issue is horse poo and lots of it...

Lots of fox poo in our local play area, there's a family with 3 cubs. My dog seems to like trying to roll in it...

Put some Tomato sauce on it ( :D )
Well it works for skunk spray so I guess it would work for fox droppings too :)

It smells completely different, I'm not sure how to describe a smell, its a stronger aroma and more persistent too, with a hint of pepper :D
Oh and its usually found on a mound, tuft of grass type thing as they use it to mark their territory.

We get fox poo in our back 'garden' (actually a car park) where dogs can't get into and it looks different. It seems to be darker. Might just be our local foxes though (and the impact of an urban diet)!

It's a vile smell and a b****r to get out of the dogs fur.

And in that time she rolled in her fair share :lol:
