I agree that by taking a dog do a dog park your risking the chance of a fight. Breed has nothing to do with it. If I took my pit bull to a dog park he would proabably play chase the entire time, if I took my LAB (yup I said LAB) to a dog park I guarentee you she would start a fight with the first dog she came to. Dog parks = dog fights waiting to happen (or have) you just need the right (or wrong) mix of dogs and it could get ugly.

Its a risk you take by walking into a dog park. As far as that one situation goes, that guy was an idiot. He should never have had his dog there and should have done something about his dog (offering to help pay for what his dog did would have been a great start, hell a sorry would have been nice) Unfortunatly people like that are why 'pit bulls' are looked at in such horrible light. Idiot owners. The dog was probably a sweet lovable dog who just was doing what years and years of breeding told him to do, fight other dogs and unfortunatly the dog gets blamed in most cases, not the owner who is truely the only one at fault.

If I were in your situation though, I wouldnt care what kind of dog it was, a nice foot to the head would have been my route. I defend my dog like I would my son, they come first, attacker last.
