I never worried about strangers and my past dogs before.
But with Rocky I do.
Rocky, Is aloof and pushy with strangers so with him
I usually do not allow strangers children to go up to him.
So in my case with at least Rocky, I do not mind that parents are
extra carefull.
Now with Sheba I have had some not so nice experiences with
prejudice at the dog parks. :(
Sheba gets a bad rap, but Rocky probably deserves it. :)
what kind of dog is it?
mine is a german shepherd
he has the same problem he is ok to adults but children he barks at. I think it has somthing to do with adults are less scared and he senses kids fears
People have had plenty of stuff about Kiara, being a Rottie mix.
Nala not so much towards breed, but because she's very vocal when she plays.
No one's really said much about Simba... except for a few idiots.
german_shepherd02 - FYI, you can get in large trouble for using a picture that belongs to someone else - even if you aren't claiming it to be your own.

I definitely agree... most people get angry when their pictures are used without consent. We'd LOVE to see pics of Conan, just use a digital camera or when you use your regular camera get a disk to get them to your computer. To get them on the internet, use an uploading service like www.photobucket.com or www.imagestation.com
I am sort of surpirsed you would get that reaction to Bailey. Sheis such a pretty, friednly looking girl. But like others have said, it is hard to say the reasoning.
We have had that reaction too...more often to the girls because they are black. Sometimes people will say something about Spot becuase as we all know, Dals are mean to kids...but more often kids are coming to se him, saying wow!! A dalmatian!!!
I am the same way. Too many people allow their children to rush over to dogs. Same is true with people and their dogs. Zoey is not found of being "attacked" like this. Expecially if it's another female dog. Giant Schnauzers tend to be a bit aloof with strangers. Don't get me wrong she's great with peolple she's just not as enthusiastic about meeting people as say a lab is.Quote:

As to Bob and kids, I am the opposite, I keep him away from them when we are out, or anywhere come to that. A few reasons why, first is because I don't trust the kids around here not to pull and prod - Bob would not like that. Second, he is just so enthusiastic and would knock them over in his rush to play. And lastly, simply because I know some people prefer to keep their kids away from dogs and I just pre-empt by keeping him out of their way. Sad isn't it.
My sister gets quite angry when people let their dogs rush up to my niece. I can't blame her. I would never allow Zoey to do such a thing. Like others have said you don't know how other people are with dogs.
Yes, I have had people make comments and give evil looks. I had a woman with a Min Pin tell me I had a viscious dog simply because of Zoey's size. She did nothing to provoke such a comment.
I already posted on this thread but i forgot to tell the story about the crazy lady at the supermarket, last winter i went to Krogers and left my two in the car with the window cracked very slightly just to give them fresh air , i was in there about 5-10 mins, and i came out and some lady was screaming at me saying i had no right to have 2 such viscious dogs and that she was afraid to go near her car!
Ok really?? Like the two 100-120 pound dogs will fit through a cm crack in my window!
Rita is ALWAYS wagging her tail too, so this lady was out of line and i told her so, and i have to admit i did say a few nasty words to her, i was sooo upset with her!
And it isnt the first time someone has seen me driving with my two babies and said to me i had no right to own them, :mad:
Baily is adorable! I'm sorry that happened to you, I have experienced it as well. I try to just ignore it, I understand that some people are afraid so I don't take it personally. My Goliath is 111 lbs so a lot of people are afraid of him, but he is a sweetheart. I feel bad for him because he feels rejected when people don't give him attention. When he was a puppy, we had to stop every 5 steps so someone could pet him and he loved it. Now everytime we meet someone he gets all excited thinking they are going to stop and pet him and instead they cross the street. He actually cries when that happens.
I don't have a scanner to put conans pic on
