Police rushed to Colwell Bay yesterday afternoon (Monday) following reports that a poodle had been seen potentially biting a child. Officers descended on the West Wight beauty spot at around 15:00, after receiving initial calls of the incident at around 14:45. At the scene, Police spoke to those involved but at the time of publication, no offences have been identified. Police have said:
“If anyone has further information they can contact us on 101 or via our website quoting 44240344857, so that we can continue to establish the circumstances and take any necessary follow-up action.”
However when wing mirrors were being ripped off in sandown the other night and a guy was beaten up covered in blood they wouldn’t attend.. just unreal policing
Steady tiger, we’ll be locked up soon for spreading such information.
Probably rushed there hoping to get their first collar under the new powers for someone swearing at the dog in public…
Haha yeah isn’t that true.. the uk has gone mad
Sorry if the police haven’t followed your personal preferences.
Children have been killed by dogs recently and I’m glad they attended promptly to this report.
I don’t think you’ll find Poodles anywhere near the dangerous dogs list, do you?
Dogs aren’t dangerous just there owners the way they raise them what a load of bull shit these dangerous lists are it’s the responsibility of the owner to train there dog right if it’s a poodle to a close bully all just as vicious as there owner lets them be
Dogs on the dangerous list are genetically and instinctively dangerous. Owners of dogs such as pitbulls are also genetically inferior demonstrated by THEIR inability to spell and use of profanity.
Standard poodles are big dogs and are know to be highly strung and predictable.
You are probably thinking of a miniature poodle, not exactly dangerous, but nasty snappy little mutts.
And there’s you, making a wild assumption that I’m completely unaware of the different types of Poodle.
Predictable ? Well they should of known then
Yappers, Snappers and Crappers.
Funny how french police use them to quell angry mobs.
Not funny at all. Standard Poodles aren’t on the list, either.
Please stop getting your pecker out Stuart
Don’t think a child or other has been killed by a poodle ,it wants a German shepherd or XL . Total waste of police time and risk to public on route. No crime and no injuries !.
” a poodle had been seen potentially biting a child “?. Imagine if police called to every dog,cat, rat bite etc.
Please don’t have a go at the German Shepherd (Alsatians). Easy target. All dogs will bite and for different reasons. Over the years I have owned a German Shepherd and also trained them. First you train the owner and then the dog. I have trained obedience and attack. Once trained to a good standard, it is very rare for them to bite for no reason. Ps; They do not riot or go around for no reason stabbing innocent people. They are more intelligent.
And many a dog been beaten starved to death by us lovely humans
So they should bite children for revenge on the human race?
Pathetic comment. Poodle killing a person.
We need more Police on the Streets, increase our taxes and
that will pay for the extra Police needed to Police our
once safe Island.
According to the Police Commissioner and our illustrious Members of Parliament, Hampshire has been given 700 new officers. I have yet to see even one of them. It also looks like we will be having more of these invisible officers.
So what exactly is the point of writing this article?
A pointless poodle doodle.
A poodle?, camp, snappy self opinionated fuzz balls.
Scruff of the neck and a damn good drop kick Into the sea!
I reserve the right to defend myself against any unwarranted k9 onslaught.
Keep it on a lead.
Couldn’t agree more
Can we keep you on a lead, get hold of you by the scruff of the neck, drop kick you into the sea please ?? BTW that wasn’t a request
You must identify as a poodle, a very easily triggerd poodle at that.
You are very funny.
Thank you for the entertainment
There is enough pollution in the sea as it is.
Standard poodle larger than a Retriever so depends.
Poor dog, the child must have antagonised it.
Apologies, but just what can make you take that assumption?
I have observed that the smaller the dog, the more vicious it can appear to be… snarling and yapping as it sees attack is the best form of defence.
Is this a joke! The police attend a small dog bite but turn a blind eye to car crime. You can’t make it up…..
Poor Patrol. Oh that’s a kids film isn’t it?!?!
How, exactly, do you “potentially bite”?
The Plod Poodle Patrol giving Prime Policing Preferences to pooches.
Also, is this two-tier dog policing? I once got set-upon by a Shi-Tzu in Shanklin. Shredded my shoes.
The coppers didn’t want to know.
.
Poodles are one of the friendliest dogs in the world,
must be due to the heat.
Hope everyone is ok.
this isnt the little brown /grey poodle mix thats missing from shanklin is it??
They will have to muzzle curly dogs now, little dog syndrome
I was under the impression that the Isle of Wight council had dog wardens for this type of incident or is that another made up position to gather more funding?
Get you “all poodles matter” placards and banners now….
There are dogs everywhere please keep them on leads
If the dog bit a child,then the dog ought to be put & the owners charged for the cost of the police attending also for the treatment for the child if it needed treatment.
I want to be a hippy and I want to get stoned on
