Jealousy cause of attack, so not always down to the owners.

Yep; down to the owners.

(as in "why the fudge would you leave your baby, unattended but for a dog?")

Jeezus wept: I can scarcely believe this had to be spelled out for you.

It wasn't the owners who killed the baby.

Like the person brandishing the knife didn't kill the victim?

So the dog wasn't jealous. Some would have you believe they're all docile.

Why no lovely pictures of the dog with the caption - "he would never hurt a flie".

What is that supposed to mean?

"On the night in question, they were sitting out on the patio .........."

I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe.

Has a poodle ever attacked someone and made the news?

Yep.

Do you believe that a person who leaves a baby unattended in a bath isn't responsible if the baby drowns?

 

[JP_]

If you buy an animal with big sharp teeth, evolved to tear flesh apart, and leave it in a room with a creature that is the perfect sized prey, then you are responsible for the creature's death.

I'm a dog owner, and I only have a small dog, who wouldn't say boo to a goose. but I wouldn't leave him in a room with a baby, in much the same way that I wouldn't leave him in a room with my steak and chips!

It was galahads post about poodles that inspired my post about a baby being left unattended with a dog.

Some input off mottie would be appreciated.
Having owned a cocker spaniel many moons ago I found mine to be easy to be trained and obedient after puppy stage.
Never having the opportunity to put it to test round my children ill never know whether I would have trusted it to be left alone with my children but it always gave the impression it could be trusted.
