My parents had a Red Setter they called Shamus when I was a baby I was told, I've got no memory of the dog at all but was told he was a bit mental so 'he went to the farm' .. I doubt that meant they had him put down, the only way I could see them doing that would be if he bit me or my sister so I expect (hope) he was relocated. My Mum told me I was bitten by a Jack Russel on the fingers when I was little behind someone's settee but then anything went in the early 70's and I can't remember it .
.. I can't stand Jack Russels though, snivelling over aggressive little rats .. my Sister used to date a bloke who owned one that tried to attack me when I was about 18, he found the situation
HILARIOUS until I told him that if he didn't take it out of the room, "I'll kick it through your f***ing window!" ..
We (me and my sister) grew up with Border Collie dogs, Tim and Sam and you couldn't have asked for more well balanced, loyal and fun loving pets
