Gladys Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 And you try telling the young people of today and they would never believe you! Eee, there's been a right pile o'shite posted on here since yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentbob Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I have read every page of this thread, but since 99% of it is utter bollox from the save champ brigade, and their stories change on every page, I am lost. Can anyone post a summary of the past 25 pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 See my post above! Champ is illegal, story varies as to how he was acquired and when. DAFF have custody and will put the dog down if it is not re-homed. Ireland seems the most likely candidate. Petition of Doleance now filed so Champ has a reprieve. Pit bulls are not breed, and even if they were they are really nice, friendly dogs. Those who accept the law have been branded racist to dogs (?!), bigots and some other nasty names by 'Sheswiththeband', who has now flounced off to consider whether she has known this dog from birth, from when it first moved on to the island or from when it became a pit bull. Nobody has explained who Dean is and what his role has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Plato was from Barnsley? No. You're confusing him with that dancing chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 See my post above! Champ is illegal, story varies as to how he was acquired and when.

Nobody has explained who Dean is and what his role has been. i would guess that Dean was/is the real owner of the dog who had it from a 3 month old pup ( according to sarah, so who knows really?? ) and advertised it on the net for rehoming. possibly something to do with it getting here in the firstplace too??. funny how dean and family have had nothing to say on the matter and have left it up to the 'owner' of the minute. i suppose if you decided you don't want the dog anymore and advertise it you probably aren't bothered too much about it anyway.

Skeddan Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It all smacks a bit of celeb-culture publicity and self-promotion - make Champ a local celebrity - he is already as popular as King David. Perhaps a reality TV show, the authorised biography, t-shirts, mugs, balloons, merchandising royalties, etc. If Champ is put down maybe they should stuff him and put him in the Manx museum. There could be a Champ memorial day for people to come from afar to lay wreaths and make tearful speeches about his being a Manx hero and martyr.

fishkettle Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 This woman who currently "owns" Champ is full of s**t. She has owned him for a few months, that is all. The previous owner had to get rid of him because, surprise surprise, he was being aggressive and violent towards his other dog (I know this for a FACT)! I saw this dog stalking around off the lead in Maughold with his previous owner and i was afraid to get out of my car with my nine year old son. Should people have to be afraid? No they bloody shouldn't. Moving him to Ireland is simply moving the problem onto someone else. How would all these self rightcheous Champ supporters feel if he attacked a child? He should be put down immediately, laws are there for a reason and one woman who's had a dog all of five minutes and therefore knows bug*er all about it's nature really should not be able to sway those who know better.

The previous owner had to get rid of him because, surprise surprise, he was being aggressive and violent towards his other dog (I know this for a FACT)! Hmmm - I thought the previous owner put him up for re-homing cos he had to leave the island "in a bit of a hurry". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishkettle Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Something else I feel I should add also. The chap who owned this dog previously had (i'm fairly certain) not long purchased him and brought him over from Ireland (at least that was what he told the person who told me). So the story that he's been registered here for 5 years smacks of total rubbish. I'm guessing perhaps it was another dog that has been registered here who's identity Champ has taken on for the prupose of the "save Champ campaign", I mean he's not even 5 years old himself yet is he????

comeover Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Champ was brought over from Ireland as a very young pup and is now roughly 3 and a half years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishkettle Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Champ was brought over from Ireland as a very young pup and is now roughly 3 and a half years old. Ahh ok, so how is the current owner claiming he's been registered here for 5 years? Or am I mistaken in that belief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Apparently she's now been on Border News, and there's fundraising efforts now for getting him ID'd 'properly'. Sorry if someone already mentioned this of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
