Generally speaking there is no such thing as a bad dog just a bad owner. If trained and controlled properly dogs should not pose a problem.
To assess what a dog is like just have a look what is on the other end of the lead.

I have trained dogs for years and we always say a lead is a piece of leather with a dumb animal on one end and a dog on the other

How true!

As some of you may or may not be aware, I have two GSD's.
If you were to walk past younger one, the male, who is an all black longhair and weighs 40 kg, you would be apprehensive, and yes, I can say that the dog does not have a bad bone in is body, (he gets burped after his dinner, he loves to sook in and cuddle you, he's scared of our gerbils) plus I know the (award winning) kennels they came from,

They are still dogs and have to be treated with care and respect.
All dogs can be dangerous, regardless of the breed.
It is down to the owner as to how the dog is raised.
One of my neighbours has a gsd, but he lets it loose to roam the street, it is disobedient and barks and snaps at anyone who walks past the garden.
I never take my eyes off of mine, and am always cautious when introducing mine to strangers.
You cannot always trust who buys a dog and for what means the intend to use it.

Rant over.

That guy should hand himself in to the authorities, he gets fined, and (hopefully) learns a lesson. The dog should not be allowed to see the light of day again.

My son's friends parents have two american bulldogs and a great dane. The friend comes here to play. Ben does not go over there.
The parents keep asking why. I would tell them but it would probably end the friendship.

The cafe manager at our favourite beach has a Collie, it is a lovely natured dog who loves to play and is also very obediant.

It loves to catch stones and sand - a little potty

Totally agree with what you say,BF.I,too,have two gsd's plus a border collie,and all are 100% sound.They have been trained to ignore other dog's that might decide to bark at them,but both gsd's will defend to the end if attacked .The problem is that if they turned on a dog that had attacked,they would always be treated as dangerous and get blamed,so I tend to keep away from so called pet owners who let their so called nice dogs run free.
