Did you watch, Britains worst pet?

[Illyria54]

Did you watch Britains worst pet last night? I would never send my dog or horse to Roger Mugford, he is absolutely useless, I heard him twice say Good dog to an agressive dog just as it lunged to bite him, how on earth does he call himself an animal behaviourist?, not to mention the fortune he charges, he and Trude Mostue were told that a Rottwieler regularly got 2 bags of Maltesers each evening and not one of them told the owner that chocolate can actually kill dogs.

I missed that, not that I watch much TV, but would have been interested to see it........some time ago Mugford was reported as saying that Pitbulls were labrador x boxer crosses.

Hello Illyria, is this Roger Mugford of Halti fame?

I missed Britain's Worst Pet (shows like that drive me mad!) but it sounds as if he doesn't know his ar5e from his elbow...
I can't believe they wouldn't warn an owner about the potentially lethal effects of 'human' chocolate on dogs. It's common knowledge for goodness' sake, it's hardly some obscure veterinary nugget of information.

I despair!

I don't usually watch these programmes but was channel hopping and came across it, yes he is Halti chap, have to say I DO use one of those on my youngest Shepherd but that's the most he is useful for, and I remember the Pitbull thing now, thanks for reminding me jules. My husband was laughing at me, I was getting so annoyed by Mugford, Trude Mostue isn't my favourite tv vet either though even she could see at one point that an aggressive rabbit needed his bits off, Mugford wanted to try and retrain it!!!???

I watched this some time ago and could have easily have sorted out all those pets myself!! Neither of them had a clue, I was shouting at the screen I was so mad and as for the Malteser incident Grrrrr.

Oooh, angry gelda ;) I can see why you must've been so infuriated, gelda and Illyria. He sounds fairly clueless. And WHAT? A Lab X Boxer? What planet is this man on?!

A friend of mine saw Roger Mugford at Crufts once, doing a demonstration on dog behaviour. Once he had finished, he was outside being towed along by his own dogs, who weren't being well behaved at all!!
