Breed Discrimination?
Who has run into it, where and what breeds? Looking for a new buddyI like the German Shepherd but have to look at a mix with "they say" lab and american bull dog. More turmoil.

I try my hardest to properly educate the general public about Rottweilers since the media gives them such a bad rap. It was also nice to mention the Dalmatian as not being quite a nice as the firemen make them out to be. They are good family dogs but not people friendly. I have had quite a few run ins with them over the years and I have never once seen one that was friendly to outsiders.
I quoted the lower portion of your post.
We too try to educate about the breed. I find that people that are dog people don't seem to have much issue. I find that some of the non dog people are the ones that are the problem. This may be because they buy into what the media is saying.
To Shelby everyone and everything is a potential friend. Last week she met two more friends on our daily walk.
I have known some that think they will rip your face off. I have said come and meet my dog and you will have a little different view of the breed. No one has ever taken me up on the offer.
I think with people there is a bad apple here and there, the same goes for dogs.
All that I ask of people is please don't judge my dog based on what you read and hear.
