Comment to Ask Before Petting A Dog
-
I agree that people shouldn’t walk up and try to pet a dog especially my dogs without permission. I’ve had to call a few dogs off before a person lost a hand or finger.
I do not blame dog shows. Many judges have been educated on not touching or going into a dogs mouth without permission. There are breeds they have been trained not to touch at all. I show my dog’s bite. Judges can’t open my dogs mouth.
However, society often assume that all dogs should be friendly. While I don’t want my dog to be a menace ti society I do want them to do what they were bred to do. They are to protect my family and property.
