The problem is whenever I take him for walks, all the neighbors give me dirty looks and walk across the street to avoid me. They seem misinformed of dogs in general perhaps. Have other people have a problem like this?

I do a pretty good job of keeping him on a leash, he has gotten lose a couple times due to his exhuberence, but ends up licking the pedestrian. He would not hurt a fly.[/quote]

well, problem is most folks know these dogs came to be via breeding for aggressive traits to fight bulls and bears. So when one comes loose and aim straight toward a neighbor, what do you think they are thinking? I know you love your dog and intimately know her temperament, but you got to step into your neighbors’ shoes on this one.
