GSD's do look intimidating! Our neighbor has one & he barks @ us all the time. He was outside of the gate once & when he saw me, he hunched down & went back inside the gate. hehee he's a shy gentle guy after all.
There's another neighbor w/a small JRT mix & he's always off leash too. He comes running across the street to pee on Mimi. lollll She practically lies on the ground as low as she can get (probably saying, 'don't pee on me!') & Momo will take his protective stance next to her. I always wonder if the owners don't worry about cars driving by when he runs across the street? It's not a busy street, but still...
They'll even chastise him w/words after they scoop him up. Like it's his fault & it happens every time they're outside.
