I wanted to point out that there are many dog owners who don't consider the consequences of their actions, no matter what breed of dog they have. I adopted a dog years ago who was a real cuddler with people but aggressive with other dogs. I brought her to a trainer and we worked for months until she would ignore dogs when we walked by them even at close quarters. She still didn't like other dogs but she would ignore them so long as they wouldn't get into her face. I always kept her on a leash, she NEVER ran free, and I exercised her every day. The problem was that other dog owners would let their dogs run loose and right up to her even though I would always call out to them to stop and recall their dogs! The worst of the bunch was a small terrier, maybe 20 or 30 pounds, who lunged away from the owner and bit my dog on the leg! I was able to control my dog but it took the other dog owner several minutes to catch her dog, and that was after she first tried calling her back multiple times with no effect. I was furious. My girl had to have stitches to close up the bite wound. No matter how responsible you are there are always some pet owners who will ruin it. There was some people who should not have dogs regardless of the breed. Sad but true.
