Whenever I used to walk my 80 lb. German shepherd in our neighborhood, it would always be the toy dogs off leash who would cross the street trying to start a fight with her. Too much attitude in such a small package. She was smart enough to know not to bother with them.
My 20 lb “throw back” Pom is not dog friendly (he came to use that way). he does not care if the other dog is male, female, 5 lbs or 100, he simply hates the sight of another canine and will attack. He is ALWAYS leashed or in a fenced yard.Unfortunately the same cannot be said for many in our neighborhood who let their dogs roam, not even using an electric fence. It got so bad that I was forced to muzzle him on our walks after I was bitten when we were charged by a Boxer that ran across the road ignoring it’s owner.Never mind that for months I told him that my dog didnt like being approached and to get his under control.Thank goodness for the muzzle.At least now I know I wont end up bloody. Oh and when that Boxer charged us again a few weeks ago my dog tried to bite him right in the face but the muzzle stopped him
