[quote=Anonymous]Large dog owner here. The way you want to go about it (projecting violence towards people on the dog/owner) would probably offend me as a dog owner and friend.  You can't assume the dog would be aggressive towards people. It hasn't been. But, it is fair to say you are uncomfortable.  I would TOTALLY understand this. Why would it be unacceptable if the dog weer locked outside? This wouldn't be a deal breaker as long as you emphasized that your decision is because you are uncomfortable, but because of anything they have done.

FWIW Belgians are lovely dogs. I also have a large dog that seems aggressive towards other dogs (she thinks she's being protective). She is very loving to people. If anyone is ever concerned, I put her outside during the duration they are here. If they felt like they couldn't come to our property with her anywhere on the property, that would seem a  bit extreme to me, but I would understand if it were phrased in terms of the other person's fear. If they insisted my dog were a risk, the insinuation is that I am not a responsible owner, which would hurt my feelings. It's about how you phrase it. You don't truly know the dog. Back off the judgment. If you are still concerned phrase in terms of your feelings.[/quote]
