We have had no problems over the years camping with our dogs. But they are well behaved and on leash at all times when we are off our property. This weekend, about 400 feet from our campsite, somebody had a barking cat, and every time it barked, our Maggie would just look in their general direction, then back at us, like, "why does it make that noise?"..

Here is 175 lbs of pure death just waiting for the right moment to pounce..

on a biscuit..

I'm glad no one was hurt in the altercation.  My feelings are the same as yours.  If everyone would obey the rules, it would be better for all.

David,
Well said! The cringing part is right on point. I absolutely hate off leash meeting with other dogs and I am really a dog lover through and through.

Our granddog was attacked by three off leash dogs in a residential area while being walked by our daughter. Anything could have happened to her, to the dogs or the owners of the other dogs while trying to break up the dog fight. Luckily, the other dogs were small and it defused quickly with no serious injuries to anyone. The other owners were so apologetic.....big deal...apologies and common sense are two different things. Just keep your dogs on a leash and don't endanger other people or animals!

I am glad you enjoy the discussion.  Dixie is the only "family" that I have and will not camp anywhere without her.
 
Some people sort of "cringe" when they see her, also.  I try to be extra considerate and step off of the trail several feet and allow them to pass.  If this is not possible, I'll take up the slack in the leash and hold her by her collar- placing myself between her and others.  If walking on the roads, I'll cross to the other side. 
 
What makes me "cringe" is when others allow their dogs off leash  Angry

I am so glad for this forum discussion. Our "granddog" is a Staffordshire Terrier mix and is the sweetest, kindest dog you can imagine. People take one look at "Atticus" and cringe when we walk him. People need to be educated that this is a people problem not a breed problem.

We haven't taken him camping yet but will be doing so soon. In Florida, the trend seems to be state and national parks allow all breeds with proper manners and control. You cannot stake them out and leave more than 30 minutes and on longer than a six foot tie out.

One bite from a pit bull will usually do more damage than three or four from a toy poodle!  It's not the frequency of biting but the potential damage from each individual bite.

The Journal of Applied Animal Behavior says that dachshunds, Chihuahuas and Jack Russell terriers are the most likely to bite. Another study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society puts Labradors and golden retrievers in the high-risk category.

"The real problem is that there is so much conflicting information (about aggressive breeds), that you don't know what to believe," says Donna Popow, senior director of knowledge resources for the Insurance Institute of America, a nonprofit offering insurance education in Malvern, Pa. "Any dog will bite, given the right set of circumstances

I TOTALLY AGREE A PIT CAN KILL. AND TUFF DOESNT HAVE A BACK UP BUTTON.THAT IS WHY HE IS NEVER EVER OFF HIS LEASH, HE IS OBEDIENCE TRAINED AND WE TAKE HIM EVERY WHERE. HE WOULD BE QUICK TO DEFEND, BUT HAS NEVER ATTACKED A DOG OR A HUMAN SEEMS THE BAD REPS OF SOME FOLLOW THEM ALL. JUST A SHAME WHEN WE GET OUR CAMPER, MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME OF THE CAMPOUTS WITH YOU FINE PEOPLE . BECAUSE OF THESE RESRICTIONS. BUT THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR THE INSIGHT. LARRY
