Funny thing is, my last "best friend" was an English Mastiff...She weighed 180 lbs. and was the most gentle dog around small dogs and babies I've ever seen...But I knew her, and trusted her completely...Did you know those other guys, before today? |
The way I look at it: you can't spend your entire life worrying about everything. Dogs gotta be dogs - big or small. No, I had just met all those days that day but they were all VERY laid back, really mellow dogs. I also trust Jackson.... because in general, it's the little dogs who start stuff and get the big dogs goin', and then the big dogs get the bad rep, lol. Jackson doesn't egg any of the big dogs on, he keeps his distance, waits for them to approach him, Jackson kind of just walks around and smells everything and checks everything out. So yeah, I trust my dog and I trusted the other dogs. If dogs sense your fear or weak energy, they're definitely going to pick up on it and
that is when fights may happen. So I prefer to just stay calm and cool and let the dogs do their thing.
If I sensed that any of the dogs were getting irritated with Jackson, or agressive one bit, I would have taken him out of the situation calmly and left, but there was none of that. Also - Jackson is about 13lbs and he's alot of more study.
