Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dirty" data-source="post: 347428" data-attributes="member: 6535">None of my dogs ever would have gone bird hunting if it was such a terrible thing to let them run around with strange dogs. On some of our sharptail hunts, there are 6 or 7 dogs. Often they aren’t familiar with each other at all, and at some stage of the game each new dog is a stranger to all of them and he/she is hanging around an entire pack of strange dogs. The BEST part of the hunt is enjoying those strange dogs running around with each other. I’ve heard a little growling at the food bowl or water bucket, but I haven’t seen a dog fight yet and absolutely no need for anyone to finger their dog. I agree with Bob. Introducing your dog to as many other dogs as possible so they learn to socialize is extremely important. It is not a foolproof way to avoid every single confrontation during the life of that dog...I do understand that there are different personalities among dogs, just like people. The nicest, most calm person on the planet can have a bad day. I wouldn't expect dogs to be any different.Unfortunately, people who probably know dang well their dog doesn’t know how to socialize or plain old doesn’t get along with other dogs sometimes think the place to test it out is the dog park. That’s when things can go wrong...and that is where KurtR is right because you never know when one of those folks is walking their agitated pitbull (or other breed, fine) into the dog park.</blockquote>
