People almost always ask me if Oz is friendly, before they
ask to pet him and he's a Collie. Whereas it's very rare that
people ask if my Cairns are friendly, they just walk right
upto them and start petting. Course all 3 are friendly
so it really doesn't matter in my case. I just wonder if
on average people are just more naturally wary of a large
dog, because Collies aren't really in the stereotypical "beware"
category.

hi lovemyshiba!

I don't know, after having that lady tell me her dogs were
really very nice, right after they attacked Oz, I'm not so sure
that you can 100% trust that people know what their
dogs are capable of or are truthful with themselves about
it. So if I have my dogs or children with me, I'm a lot more
cautious around dogs I don't know, then if I just have myself
to worry about.
