It needs also to be checked over by a vet, as I've also known dogs
that are ill exhibit this kind of behaviour due one supposes to
pain
or insecurity.

Its just a husky being a husky.

I'm not sure that "it's just a husky being a husky" is an excuse,
if the
behaviour is *interpreted* as being threatening by other people.
Other
people aren't to know that a dog that is barking and straining at its
lead only wants to "lick you to death" and not to bite you. Even if
the
dog didn't bite, it could knock over a child in its sheer
exuberance to
make friends.

That's a slippery slope, that's already been done to death by
'minority'
interests who claim that what counts are not the facts of the case,
but
how they FEEL about the facts..

I mean us poor men feel sexually abused every time a women glances at
our crotches, or puts on predatory makeup... ;-)


It sounds as if the owners of the dog have got a real handful and
aren't
able to keep it in control. Yes, the owners should train it to calm
down, but many of the largest, most threatening dogs are owned by the
people who are least likely to take kindly to being recommended to
train
their dog. I hesitate to use the c--v word :-)

I cant think of a single word in the English language that ends in
'v'...Slavic perhaps...

Chav.

As I said. Thats a romany word innit?

Pov and lav arent.

The aren't words, they are abbreviations.

The very few I came up with were spiv, Slav, and shiv.

http://scrabblewordfinder.org/words-ending-in/v

lists more, but they are either abbreviations or foreign.

I am not sure that spiv and shiv are English, either.

Shiv seems to be Romany, like chav, but spiv is slang that's passed into
general usage.

Slav is of course - er - slavic or is it Slavonic?


I was watching The Thick Of It last night, and Malcolm Tucker said
something like "all I have is a something and a chiv". Not a word I'm
familiar with, but it appears to be some kind of knife.
