[Cirlonde]

While I wouldn't ever snub someone in this way, I will have to admit that I take precautions with Chloe when meeting other dogs or people and I imagine that may sometimes make me seem a little snobbish/over protective...especially if I pick her up before someone gets to us. Chloe is very unpredictable in how she will approach others, whether humans or animals. Sometimes she runs right up to folks and starts sniffing them. Other times, she shies away like she's frightened. Sometimes she's very aggressive with other dogs, sometimes she's submissive. There's just never any telling.

Also, you never know how the other person's dog will react to your dog. Perhaps the woman had had a bad experience and just avoids other dogs now. However...you'd think she wouldn't take her dog out in public if she felt that way! Regardless, she missed out on a chance to get to meet another precious Yorkie!
