i think it is good for big & little dogs to socialize as long as you do it right i would never put my little dog to play with a 100 pound BOUNCIng dog but a calm one i dont see why not
Austin is a well socialized dog now i dont let him play with every huge dog but hes been with a few good ones and he loves it if they get to ruff both of us pull our dogs away
i think if you constantly coddle you little dog just cause there little youll have a dog that can play nice at all
ok im done again this is only my opinion |
I'm not arguing about it either. You have your opinion and I have mine. And I don't "coddle" my dog either. But like I said, I can't protect MYSELF against big dogs, so I certainly can't protect her. Even if a big dog bumped into me, it could be pretty serious for me (I have a medical condition where my bones break easily). And I let her play with all kinds of dogs EXCEPT the ones that I am looking in the eye. Unless I know the dog personally, I don't even want to be near it. I just haven't had good experiences. We have had lots of big dogs run up to us, putting us both in a dangerous situation. So I don't think that you should make assumptions and say that I coddle my dog when you don't know the real reason why I won't go near big dogs. I'm just not going to put either of us in that situation. And she is VERY social and CAN play nice.
