sorry

Sorry for your dogs injury, dog parks can be the worst place for dog introductions. This is more of a ownership issue rather than breed. Our staffie(pit type dog) has been in a daily play date group for years. With dogs under 10 pounds to larger than her. Dog parks can be a real problem as people bring dogs with no social skills and try them out to see how they do with other dogs. I would be careful with dog parks, look for ones that have active owners and dogs that are interacting or ignoring each other, that is ok too.
