If those girls were volunteers at the store to walk the puppies, then there were more then likely told not to let them near big dogs & prob told VERY strenly..

When Volunteers walk our puppies from the kennels, they are told the same thing & its quite stern, if they bring the puppies near large dogs, they'll be fired. Its not because the Large dogs r agressive, but its the fact that the larger dogs r stronger, heavier & they could easly harm, break, or kill a small puppy.

Our volunteers r somesimes grumpy cause they are told SO many times what to do & what not to do, that they get annoyed. But its for the safety of the puppies.


OR the girls could be scared of big dogs, & there is nothing wrong with that. Fear is allowed. You just have to learn to ignore retards & keep enjoying your time with your doggie

My old dog looked like a Lab & people were scared of him & ran off, some said not to nice things & I ignored them all, except the scared ones that stood still. I usually talked them into petting him.. I also got one of my mentally handicaped friends to put her fears aside & pet, walk & play with my dog.. She was so scared sometimes she hit & kicked him.. But I knew it wasn't her fault & that my dog could handle it & he did manage to win her over.
