We have a golden retriever who lives next door. She is 8 months just like my Ollie. Ollie use to get under the fence with the help of the golden digging -- very friendly dog BUT i was so fearful she would accidently hurt Ollie. We have chicken wired and layed bricks along that side of the fence and now they play through the fence!!
About 6 years ago my chihuahua was attacked by a "friendly" dog who was "just playing" and the friendly dog took him in his mouth and shook him a few times--- punctured his spleen and collasped his lung!!!!!! He survived after 9 very expensive days at the vet.
Honestly you can NOT be too careful!!
I get very nervous whenever Ollie or Reese are near other dogs. But Ollie does get solcialized-- we have 2 great friends in our neighborhood with 8 month old yorkie brothers. |
