Big Paws Only Dog Forums

 Â  Okay, I understand the allure of being around a big dog.  He**, that's why I've had giant breeds my entire life.  BUT, with that being said, why are there soooo many ignorant people out there?  We take our dogue de bordeaux to many places that dogs are allowed, for example, the beach.  EVERY single time, there is some fool that RUNS up to us and our dog screaming about how gorgeous he is.  They'll proceed to violently invade his space (no matter what we are doing) and while they are actively petting him ask this question....."DOES HE BITE?"  Okay, wtf?  Thank God, Brinks is such a tolerant dog.  He's simply a sweetheart and very socialilzed.  But, really, it makes me think of all the poor dogs out there who get blamed for things that were clearly the fault of some stupid person. 

I'm not trying to offend anyone here, but geesh, step back from the big red dog. Anyone else have any of these horror stories?

Just saying hi.  Like all of you...major big dog fan here.  Parents raised great danes when I was young.  We've owned both bullmastiffs and Dogues.  Currently, have a one year old Dogue named Brinks!  Hope to make lots of friends here!
