question about camping with a pittbull
The wife and I just bought a camper and want to get back into camping. This time around we have two dogs. Both are rescue "mutts" and one is part Pitt. First campground I called to make a reservation ...

As with most all encounters, being a paranoid owner will prevent many of these issues. No matter how friendly my dog is, I would never let it "approach a strange dog for a sniff". Regardless of the other dog's breed, I will kepp our distance. If it is someplace where the dogs will be required to interact, I will FIRST talk to the other owner. Getting a sense for the owner is the best way to get a first impression of the dog. Does the person use terms like "he wouldn't hurt a fly" or "he just loves other dogs"? Does the person want to "just let them say hello"? In my experience these are danger signs. Why? Because they don't question the other dog at all. They believe that dogs will all get along regardless of everything else....
Yup, good advice. I am one of the most paranoid dog walkers there is.:p
