Even so -- I'd NEVER take the chances with them off-leash. they may be nice, and may be trained "perfectly" but -- Dogs are still animals, and still have instincts and are able to run off to another dog, infront of a car, to another person -- whatever it may be that catches their eye.
Exactly. You NEVER know what can happen. Anything... cars, mountain lions, bears...........oh my!

hehe ok maybe I am being just a tad bit silly this morning, haven't eaten yet.

EDIT: And Bears and Mountain Lions are a really threat in some places when dog's are off leash. There's been many instances especially in California of dogs being attacked my Mountain Lions and Bears. In fact, about two months ago my mom's teacher was out walking and as he turned the corner a huge Brown Bear was standing there. He took some awesome photos, but it just goes to show that anything can happen. Luckily his dog wasn't with him that day or I am sure something tragic would have happened.
