Been charged by mixed breeds, shepards, labs, aussies, and various little ankle biters over the years, some even after I knew them and their owners quite well. Heck my own (long since deceased) dog even tried snapping at me, once.

My view: ALL dogs should be on a leash if they are off the owners fenced property. You don't EVER know what it's going to do. Off leash areas are a cluster waiting to happen.

Obviously this excludes hunting dogs that are actually hunting.
You said it right there that off leash areas are a cluster waiting to happen, dogs will be dogs, kinda like bars, sooner or later someone's going to get punched...dogs and people....what a cluster!
