When i take my dog for a walk most people avoid us probarly because im young and i have a SBT so they think the worse the only people i can intaract with are other bigger dogs like SBT, rottweillers etc and my favourite is surprisnly that alot of OAPs have come up stroking him asking all sorts about him. Fact is he loves playing with kids hes gentle with them and very playful. and as far as getting bit i have been biting once in the bum cheek by a jack russel.
