Now just imagine if MY dogs were acting in the same manner towards their dogs, and I were to say; "Hey, you will choke on them"!!!
How rude would that be?????
Why do these Owners deflect the blame because I have GSD's?
Why cannot these folk recognise and take responsibility for their dogs acting inappropriately. At least try to correct their dogs and maybe even politely indicate an apology to us!!!

Indeed, rude ( in my opinion )
If that was my dog, I would of apologized to the person walking by for my dog's behavior.

This seems to be quite a 'usual' comment, (more particularly when the dogs are smaller breeds, as if that excuses their behaviour)!
They act as if it does not matter, but if it were the other way round, that would be a different matter I am sure!

Hmm, while I was walking today I passed a yard with some mixed breed dog, probably 25-30 lbs. The dog was barking like crazy at me and the three dogs I had with me. The owner comes outside and I could hear him say to his own dog, shut up, those dogs would eat you alive if you got to them. I kind of laughed.
We have the occasional few who correct their dogs, or even bring them inside so they aren't bothering me. Then we have some who get angry at the fact that I'm walking past their yard and their dogs are going crazy. Mine just walk on by like nothings going on. I do wish some of these people would correct their dogs, I see too many Pit Bulls, one who broke her chain today, who want to come out and attack, many just bark your head off while on their chains. And then on occasion I hear dogs inside peoples houses barking as I pass by, typically little yappy dogs. One use to bark at us so much, and one day it decided to charge right up the hill at us. My dog turned his head, bit the dog as it ran right into the pack, and the little yappy dog ran off screaming, and then turned and hissed.....never seen a dog hiss before, but he sounded like a ticked off cat. They learned to control their dog after that point.
I don't think owners deflect blame just because you have a GSD, I think it's any powerful breed for that matter.

Yes, I do agree, I am sure that the deflection of blame would be aimed at any large guarding type breed, but that is no excuse is it to pass it off so glibly.

walking the plank.....that sounds about right lol. I'd say we pass roughly 35 dogs on our walks, probably more. Many off leash, but a lot of them are so use to us that they don't come onto the road. Some yards have fences and there will be anywhere from 2-6 dogs in each "pack"
I agree, it is no excuse. I think a lot of times people with small dogs or less "dangerous" dogs in their eyes see it differently. They don't think their dog could possibly do any harm so they don't see their dog as a problem.

By the way, I don't think now that I have cause to complain with just a few scattered here and there, compared to the amount you come across! Are these other dogs allowed to be unsupervised out of their garden/yard in a residential area?????
