And the police officer knew this how? Is he supposed to be a dog mind reader?.....Golden Retrievers weight from 65-75 pounds, about what a Germand Sheppard weighs. They are plenty big enough to do serious damage if they become aggresive.

If a cop doesn't recognize the difference between a golden retriever and German Sheppard, he should be laughed off the police force.

What’s the difference between a 75 pound attacking dog, and a 75 pound attacking dog?

It doesn’t matter what the breed of dog is, the dog can be dangerous. For those who post here saying that one breed is to be trusted over another is just crazy. All breeds will attack regardless of how much the family that owns them loves them. Someone who is not part of the family has reason to fear and it is your responsibility to keep your dog under control. If your dog came at me like that I would shoot it too. Don’t think that your dog is something anyone else has to or should put up with. I have a friend who has a golden who will rip you a new one if he doesn’t know who you are. They aren’t all friendly and nobody should be assuming that they are. Stupid people to expect others to love their pets. If you love your pet then control it. Otherwise kiss it good bye.
