| Re: Who is at fault here?
I agree with the posters who think the OP displayed poor judgment in letting his dog go up to people with dogs on the OP's property. We have 80 acres and I wouldn't let my dogs to up to anyone trespassing on our property, whether they have dogs or not. There are lots of people I consider nutty in this world and I wouldn't take the risk of my dogs encountering one of these people who might do who knows what to them--even if the person was in the middle of one our fields.
Furthermore, I don't want my dogs to get the reputation in the neighborhood that they're problems, vicious, or problematic. And with two personal dogs and a foster almost always here, the thought of my three brawling with however many trespassers there many be is a most unappealing thought. This Rottie owner prefers erring on the side of caution. |
