Our 30 lb. poodle mix just survived an attack on a hiking trail

94. And you'll fall out of the tree

No, I don't have a Pit Bull nor a "fighting breed type" (whatever that is and as if it matters). Yeah, well socialized dogs are menaced all the fucking time by other dogs that are NOT well socialized or trained thanks to their shitheaded owners that walk them off leash and can't control them or WON'T control them. Not all dogs like other dogs or certain other dogs and that's NATURAL. When an unknown dog comes into what any dog considers to be their territory, doesn't know how to great them properly by not being threatening and allowing their butt to be sniffed but charges up to a strange dog willy nilly when such behavior is considered by DOGS to be threatening behavior that's an obvious socialization, training and owner responsibility problem. And it often IS threatening behavior as the OP unfortunately found out today as her dog was attacked by a dog off leash that menaced hers and caused it nearly $1000 in vet bills by being attacked. What, you think this is the first time in history that an unleashed dog menaced or attacked another dog???

ALL dogs are capable of being well-socialized, and it has not shit one to do with their breed. Gads, you'd think people would have learned this stuff by now.

I've spent decades researching and training including cadaver search and have been more recently working with our local K-9 human officer and his dog partner in police dog training. All you've got is ignorant opinion contradictory to every dog expert there is and refuse to educate yourself because dagnabbit, the truth is whatever the fuck idiotic crap you want to believe according to your own misplaced agenda. And it's as stupid and useless as tits on a bull.

Frankly, your out on a limb ignorant assumption is very telling and extraordinarily offensive particularly personally. Happy landing.
