    definitly agree!! my boxer used to be the same but hs always on the lead!!! no matter how good they can be most the time is the small bit of chance that god forbid she attacked a dog and hurt it or if there was a child around!! i know its awful to live in the "what if" land but with cases lik this you have to put it first!!!

    definitly not worth the chance !!!

    If theres any chance of her attacking another dog, I would keep her on the lead (especially as you said she MOSTLY comes back), only let her off when in a confined area and with dogs you know she gets on with.
    Just think how you'd feel if another dog did this too yours and you found out the owner knew it could happen.
