[quote="Platz"]It's ALL your fault no matter what breed of dog it is. [/quote] Agreed. Just as BSL should not focus on specific breeds in "preventing" attacks, a dog's breed should not make a difference when placing (redirecting) blame or making excuses after one. I say NO this dog was NOT doing his job as the ranger/official was not putting a real threat on you. That is, unless you want your dog's job to be biting people you interact with in non-threatening situations at it's own discretion. While it is true that some breeds are more apt to act on what THEY perceive as a threat than others, it is still YOUR job and responsibility as the owner to teach them the difference between a REAL threat and something that could be mistaken for one, such as this.
