OJ, I didn't read every post but I will say that if a dog sees another dog and chooses to attempt to get to it to fight, it is a dangerous dog by definition... even if it is the first offense!
I own several dogs that could, in an instant, become a "dangerous dog". There is an inherent risk since they were chosen as hog catch dogs from a litter whelped by a hog catch dog with a hog catch dog sire...
They have a HIGH PREY DRIVE. I cannot let them loose, unattended, in the presence of small kids. I do not think it is a sure risk but I cannot risk it just the same. Also, I cannot let just anyone walk my catch dogs where they may come into contact with kids or dogs that may make those squeaky noises that trigger the sort of behavior they exhibit when they get to a squealing pig.
Again, it goes back to irresponsible dog ownership to treat them differently than I do.
