Teal was attacked by a large black male lab last week, I knew it was going to kick off as the lab had his hackles raised 25 yards away, the owner made no attempt to reign the dog in, Teal tried to hold her own but was out sized by about 25 KGs, I separated them and the owner said he doesn't normally do that, yeah right I believe you. I told her if you cant control the dog keep it on a lead ( my language might have been a bit more colourful than that).
Two minutes later its hackles were up as it approached another dog, still running off lead and the owner paying no attention so I shouted at her again PUT THAT FFing thing on a lead or I am going to report you, but no she ambled on dog still off lead, it beggers belief.
Teal was fine and it has not effected her thankfully she still ignores other dogs unless they try to stop her hunting
