Tyson is very friendly toward other dogs but likes to paw/play lunge at them...that makes me nervous so I keep him away from other dogs unless I bring him around my friends and their pets. I don't trust other people's dogs because who knows their story? Regardless, people who are rude enough to not bring their dogs to their side when another person is walking WITHOUT asking permission first if they can greet your dog are DUMB. That's just a disaster waiting to happen REGARDLESS of the breed. Doesn't matter at all. Tyson LOVES dogs but being 6 months old he is very all over the place at times. I always make him stay right beside me when other people walk by with a dog, I've had boxers, shephards, you name it come barrelling at us before, but thankfully, most people have their dogs right by their side and keep walking or at least ask if their dog can play with mine. I don't mind USUALLY but I'm trying to teach Tys he can't have his way 24/7. I like to take him to my brothers so he can play with their Great Dane and German Short Hair, I just would rather know a bit about the dog before I let some stranger come put their dog all up in my dog's face.
