ParNone, What do you think I should do to prevent anything from happening? Get rid of my dog? And I'm not trying to 'get away' with anything, just trying to protect myself and my dog!
Sorry, if I came off a lil' harsh chocolatepuppy. This is somewhat of a sore subject with me, because I've got a cousin, who's got 2 scary aggressive dogs. One's bitten several people and the other one, although I don't he's actually bitten anybody yet, I saw him lunge at my 14 year old cousin with the intent to bite. She thinks they're wonderful, because they're so protective. So she doesn't do anything about the situation.

Anyway, only you know your dog and what your level of concern is as to whether she'd actually bite somebody. So only you can discern, what's the appropriate steps to ensure others safety. I've got a very high confidence level that Murph and Oz wouldn't bite anybody (Gully's still a puppy, so although he's shown no aggression so far, I think it's too early to know for him). Even with a high confidence level, I've got a 6 ft wood fence enclosing the backyard and I always keep the gate locked and the dogs are never left alone unsupervised with kids. I do leave them unsupervised in the back yard though, because I honestly don't think they'd ever hurt anybody. I've had workmen and meter men jump the fence, while the dogs were back there, and the dogs happily welcomed them into the yard.
