Personally I'd ban miniature poodles, corgis and Jack Russells 'cos they're the dogs that frighten me most having been attacked in the past by them.
But as usual it's the minority of owners causing certain breeds to get a bad name and spoiling it for the majority of good owners.
At a site last weekend there were two rotties with different owners. We met one in the dog walk area and it was a sweetie. But the other one was a very aggresive one and the owner told my friend it would tear her GSD apart if it got hold of it.
So why had he taken it to a campsite, where there would be other dogs and kids about?
It's the owners that need shooting in some cases.
Was the owner of the 'bad' dog being purposely aggressive in the way he said that, or was he just trying to warn you that his dog was aggressive with others? I only ask, because its really difficult for owners of aggressive/antisocial dogs to 'warn' others that their animal is difficult without it sounding like a threat. If he was keeping his dog on the lead and keeping it away from other dogs and kids then he was being responsible and I doubt the dog would have caused issues. His dog may be perfectly well-behaved and friendly within the confines of his own family group and by its own tent or caravan.
On the other hand - if he was being purposely aggressive that is entirely out of order.
