Are people typically fearful of your dog/s

I haven't had many problems with Sadie and Maggie because they are smaller. Grant hasn't had too many problems either. Grant is more afraid of people he doesn't know so he stays away from them.

People are terrified of Visa. Alot of people think she is a wolf-mix, so that doesn't help. She has a very wolfy way of moving -- she glides and slinks. She also stares and watches your every move. It can be pretty chilling to people that don't know her.

NO! I can't ever think of a time when someone was fearful of my dogs. But look at my dogs, haha, would you be afraid?

The dog I have now is on the smaller side, so people aren't afraid of him as often. When I fostered a rottweiler, however, I could really clear whatever side of the street I was walking on. The poor dog was such a lover, she wanted to cuddle and meet everyone, especially kids. Needless to say, she didn't get to do most of the socializing she wanted to .
And when I had bloodhounds as a kid, people were terrified, which I never got. They were such easy-going dogs. They did search and rescue for local law enforcement. One time, when one of the big males threw his head back and let out a nice, loud bay it actually scared a grown man so much he wet himself.

People who don't know him YES! Ecpecially in the winter with all that hair! He looks like a bear!

People who do know him no. They know that he a VERY sweet dog. Some of my friends were a little frightened by him at first but they grew to like him

Josie: Well..it depends...if she's doing the "I'll bark at anyone who comes close" then yeah...I think people would be fearful lol

Zeke: I don't know. I think yes. People have told me they were afraid of him cause of his markings I've had kids come over to pat him and their parents pull them away like he's gonna bite...I don't know HOW anyone can think zeke is scary though. He is the biggest sweety there is..he's a chicken too

Yes

Toby is 'scary' because he's black.
Spike is 'scary' because he's a GSD.

People LOVE Squid and Ollie however, and rush over to try and pet them, which makes me laugh because out of the four (although i dont think any of my dogs would bite a person) if anyone was to bite it would be Squid!

Beeniesmom, don't scare me with you loving puppers! They are so cute and look like they are going to lick you to death!

For Jesse, it depends on the person/child. They are afraid for one reason, she is missing a leg. I don't understand why people are afraid of my baby girl? It makes her sad when someone is walking up to pet her, but then they see her missing limb and "change their mind."
