Sounds like some bad owners have ruined it for others. Untrained dogs don't help either. We have a GS in our area that gets loose real frequently so we do panic with our smaller dogs. Even if was another large breed we would worry. We ended up with a $2k vet bill from a loose dog that tried to kill our little guy on a lead and he had busted ribs and a punctured lung. They burnt me with the bill when I went to knock on their door a week later. Suddenly moved out. Buying a piece of property might be a good thing as long as it is zoned for the use you want.
