@ HawaiianDeborah - I did not think kelena was speaking to you or at anyone particular. I just took it as stating some good sense about reading a dogs behavior and also not taking any chances around an endangered species.
I use to raise German Shepherds and had to protect them more than protect people from them! I never gave chances for a bad situation to occur. So many people let their dogs and cats run free without regard to other peoples property. As far as I am concerned anyone who lets their animals run free has disregard for the animal as well. I liked kelena's approach with HER animal, she reads the situation well as an owner and trainer of her dog.
