Do people get scared of your dogs?

Kia and I sympathise with you Cody! *HUGS* Kia's been called devil spawn. :eek: :rolleyes:

I must admit, when I first saw a halti on a dog, I thought it was a muzzle too but I was perplexed that the mouth was still free. I asked the owner and when she explained what it was I was soo embarressed. :o

Hopefully those that mistake a halti for a muzzle realize their mistake and don't judge afterwards....but who knows.

I'm so glad that the woman who caught Tori for me yesterday was not afraid of her. Alden pointed out that if it had been Katie that had gotten loose yesterday that no one would have tried to catch her. They would all be afraid and go the other way. I do wish people wouldn't be afraid of my girls. They both love people, especially Katie.

What is it with the blue eyes? Do they really look evil? So many people think that.

I think that is Hollywood at work again. In many movies where there is a devil wolf or devil dog they have blue or white or yellow eyes or something. Vampire movies the people often have vivid colored blue or green eyes and that kind of thing.

I don't really recall people specifically showing fear of my two, though some smaller children are intimidated by Tommy's size. Oddly a lot of people, especially kids, are attracted to Tasha and she is the one who is most wary of strangers and doesn't want them to touch her. She will let most women touch her after she has been around them for a bit and has gotten a chance to sniff them over.

This is so interesting! I have 4 small dogs (5 temporarily) and one medium sized dog, but I would still be more tempted to approach a big dog's person and ask if I could pet rather than a small dog's person. And I love small dogs but some of them can be nippy.

I had Max and Opal (foster) out on Saturday. You can imagine two cute doxies and everyone wanted to pet them. I had to tell one little girls' dad that I would prefer she not pet them. She was bouncing around and both of the dogs were very scared at being in a new place. I was afraid they might snap and they were already trying to run away from her. Thank heavens her dad asked before she stuck her hand out. Max also does NOT do children. My sisters grandkids used to torment him until I found out about it.

sometimes people get scared of Beanie because he barks and growls when he plays. it's not like a mean growl. it's playful, but when people think of a dog growling they think it's mean. like some wussy little pomerainian is gonna do damage.:rolleyes: he's just a vocal little guy.

I don't think anyone has ever been afraid of my dogs. Hmmm, I wonder why?;)
