I now just ignore them and carry on walking. I know that my dogs are friendly and great with other dogs although they never run free with other dogs as they are too rowdy and big. You shouldn't have to justify why you own that particular breed but I think it is staffies that are called nanny dogs because they are so good with kids.
yeah its odd why people are unsure of greyhounds too.I was brought up around lurchers as my dad worked them(he only has a salluki now and she is retired)We used to live near a couple who rescue greyhounds and we would often see her around with her husband walking 4 greyhounds but they all had wire muzzles on(she explained if they were not muzzled they would prob kill each other)
