are there alot of dogs attacks where you are?   because round here the only stray dos are the ones who take themselves off to the park to play. there will probably come a time when we have to make that call , hurt or get hurt. there are a FEW owners round here that have dogs that are aggresive towards our dogs and just don't give a toss. so i see where people are coming from.   one of ours is tempremental he doesn't bite but does make a lot of noise, even that i find unexceptable and he gets atime out round a tree.
