Elka is very smart. <br /><br />Doesn't surprise me that people cross the road when they see you.Too many times the media publishes negative articles about specific breeds of dogs, such as Dobermans, Rottweiler, Pitbulls and Staffordshire bull terriers. Since people often associate those breeds with aggressiveness and danger, they leave themselves vulnerable to other breeds. I recently heard a story about a Yorkshire terrier attack on a child. It wouldn't surprise me if the owner thought it was unlikely since it's not a specific bull-terrier breed.<br />Sam Ivyhttp://samivy.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-36721808088451069222015-05-04T10:26:37.422-04:002015-05-04T10:26:37.422-04:00it's really important.

Elka broke her toe when she was about a year old...was trailing a leash when we were training in the backyard, and got it caught when she pounced on a ball.<br /><br />But that's a good point. Off leash dogs aren't necessarily a danger because they're going to be aggressive; sometimes they'd just too boisterous or excited, and accidents happen.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-69665881880156663792015-05-04T10:11:13.470-04:002015-05-04T10:11:13.470-04:00Your mom sounds like our mom.

We take all these precautions as well, but you can't always control what others do. Ruby just recovered from an injury from an off leash dog who jumped on her and broke her toe. The dog was friendly and just wanted to play, but he was much larger. His person was walking him off leash ...The Daily Pip https://www.blogger.com/profile/17071013559078816245noreply@blogger.com
