V, I only know one thing for certain about this breed ... I am mortified of them. Yes, they smell fear and are unpredictible so please, please be careful. Is there any way you and the owners could conduct a sort of "trial run"? Let them leave or simply hide somewhere and then you zip over there to "pretend feed/walk" Stink? Just a thought!!
Linda ... we must have posted at the same time!! Great minds .... ???
