Re: [RC] Fwd: [RC] ? dogs in camp - RDCARRIE

Same with our Alaskan Malamute...she's a sweetheart, has competed in obedience 
trials (has two legs of her CD title), etc.  But she does NOT like strange dogs 
coming up into her face.  Regardless of their size, I can just about guarantee 
that the other dog will come out on the short end of an encounter with our 
little 60 lb, 11 yr old, arthritic and hip-dysplastic malamute.  And of course, 
it will be our dog's fault, even though she's the one tied up!  We constantly 
tell people to get their dogs out of our camp, and warn them that our dog does 
not like strange dogs...you'd think that would be enough...but 30 minutes 
later, their loose dog is back again.  Ours is always either tied up, on a 
leash, or in her crate.  
Some rides I get so frustrated, I'd love to see riders who let their dogs loose 
in camp receive DQ for their ride!
