Hi all. We have just come back from our hols. Dustie was kept on a leash at all times on the beach walking and running on an extendable lead. On several occassions other dogs that were free approached us at speed..My Dustie just freaked...I didn't want to pick him up really..as I want him to get used to other dogs..but several times I did...as he seemed so scared..and when a large dog approaches with its owner some distance away what would you do.?

He is 5 half months old...but he seems really scared of other dogs...not too bad around people..

What do you all do with your yougsters at this early stage in their life.?

In the past I have always had an older Yorkie to take charge of my new pup..and this is meant that any other dog was always seen away by the older yorkie who took care of my pup. Now Dustie is on his own...!

Why oh why do other people think it is great fun to watch their dogs bound up to a tiny pup and then say.."He only wants to play"...sometimes it makes me so annoyed really..
