Having large breeds all my adult years (and as a child) I can understand fully that people will judge the large breeds especially is there is somesort of 'reputation' tagged to them. 9.9/10 times it is unfounded - but it burned into the minds of the ignorant. What I find is that there is more ignorant people than there are otherwise.

Now having a little breed, I understand the other side of the coin however, having little dogs with big attitudes are actually worse because they will set off alot of bad behaviour with surrounding dogs - big or small.

Let me put it this way - if ANYONE told me about my dogs behaviour and what I should do - they in turn would get one heck of an earfull. This will also apply to the 'regular' person to defend their dog as you would your own.

Bottom line is you have control over your own animal and no one elses. If your dog may come under fire - remove your dog from the situation. Unfair? Yes.
