As a person from a country which has no CSW at present,and as a person who is keen to learn more and one day import dogs to Australia,I can honestly ask-WHAT ON EARTH DID CHRISTOPHER MADDENE SAY??????
I couldn't understand any of his inane ramblings that were neither logical or rational.The best I could do was that his 10mth old CSW attacked his 3yr old child,but the circumstances as I understand that basically the child patted or grabbed or pinched the dog,the dog attacked-simple or was it.If you jump out behind an animal and touch it,it will see that action as an attack in a lot of cases and act on it by defending itself,most times it will threat display and move on,but if it sees the attacker as a threat it will bite.The question I'd like to ask was what was the relationship between dog and child,did the child often do this and did the parents teach the child that you should never,ever approach a dog from behind and touch it because it may become agitated,no matter how much you trust the dog.A DOG IS A DOG IS A DOG,it is still 75% wild,it will react by flight or fight,10000 years of domestication has not bred the wolf out of the dog.Children and dogs alone DO NOT mix.Christopher Maddene is a person looking for trouble and shouldn't be given a chihuaua to look after.
