My experience is much better with the bigger breeds to be honest, I never understood how people run from a friendly looking shepherd while the nasty little dachshund aiming for the ankles is not considered scary.
I hope their recent adventure worked out well too :)
I get that, In most cases, owners of large dogs will be more aware of the fact that a dog needs to be raised and trained. Owners of small dogs are often much less concerned with this. The result is that large dogs usually behave friendlier because they have learned more. With some exceptions, where the owner cannot always change much. Take our Skipper, he is a darling to us, but due to his backpack and lack of socialization in the most important imprinting phase in his puppyhood, he simply has difficulty with trust, which is reflected in him barking at everything and everyone.
