[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not okay for a dog to bite an unthreatening old lady. Barking at her, yes... biting, no. I say this as the owner of German Shepherds. I'm feeling very judgy towards these obnoxious high-strung doodle dogs.[/quote]

I hear where you are coming from, and I am not a fan of the breeds, but reaching across a fence is dangerous. Dogs are super territorial. It's not a defect; it's their instinct.[/quote]

So it's okay for dogs to bite the Amazon delivery driver when he comes onto someone's property to deliver a package? Because it is their instinct?

I will reiterate my opinion -- dogs should not bite a non-threatening person who comes onto their property. Period. Barking is fine, biting is not. [/quote]

Barking is a warning.  The old lady ignored it.  Not a smart move.[/quote]

Absolutely. The old lady is at fault. Nevertheless, I do not want to own a biting dog. Consider this -- a preschooler walks up to a dog and reaches out to pet it, and the dog bites the preschooler on the face. Sure, the dog owner is not at fault in the least, but do you want to be the owner of that dog? I don't.[/quote]
