I must live a VERY sheltered life! I have NEVER come across anyone yelling they are going to kill me and my dogs!!!!!!!<br />
Perhaps they just think it? :-)<br />
But I have bred a setter called Spike...he was named after one of Elvis Costellos albums.<br />
Quite correct, smaller dogs get away with far more than bigger ones!<br />

The least favourite pet peeve of mine is the owner of small dogs who let them run around - either on long flexi leash or no leash at all, and while the dog is barking and snarling its head off towards the other people and dogs passing by, they laugh and think it is "soooo cute and funny". And they name them Spike. :o| It makes me so mad, because when I walk with my irish down the street, some people will yell/scream " I AM GOING TO KILL YOU AND YOUR DOG!" while Lego is either completely…

Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience from someone and rumors. Its a fact of life here in the USA that if you have a top winning dog, or any dog doing some winning that others are going to start a rumor about you and your dog.<br />
<br />
Nothing people like better than tearing down those that are at the top of their game. I specialed my Abbott for a few years myself and I found out I didn't have nearly as thick of skin as I needed and we weren't even in the top 10, just the top 25 for the country.<br />

<br />
I figure if they are talking about me and spreading rumors then they are leaving someone else alone for a little while.<br />
<br />
Maybe we should start a discussion on what rumors are going around about us, and we can set the record straight. < grin ><br />

What I do not like<br />

i do get tired of hearing he only wants to play. I just started to take Scout to a small dog park close to home and most of the dog there in the morning are really nice there is one that thinks its ok to knock Scout down. I have to seperate them as his owner will not do anything<br />

Or the person who will give your dog a treat without asking if it is ok.<br />

Susan...ANOTHER great ONE (yes this is body-language) are the stupid and ignorant owners that will let their dogs (mainly male) <b>GLARE</b> at each other with the lead all tight, obviously imagining that these two dogs are just saying "Hello".<br />
Nothing that affects me as such, but something I see very often when there are groups of dog-owners about. And yes, first sign of aggression...glaring and stiffening of body.<br />

Great Ursula, this must be the start of your new discussion theme: body language (dog! especially Setter).<br />
What are the first signs of aggression? How do you react?<br />

"He/she only wants to play" is also a favorite when the dog comes running towards you tail straight up in the air and and a definate NO PLAY-look on his face.<br />
Lots of owners seem to have huge difficulty reading their own dogs bodylanguage!
