Generally, this area is the same, which I'm very grateful for. Most dog owners here are great, and make the effort to keep their dogs under control or just avoid situations where they'll have problems to begin with. But there are always at least a few that aren't on board - unfortunately my dog has already been attacked and bitten once, and even though that specific instance was thankfully not a lethal force problem, it is a concern. If nothing else, I think the population of German and Dutch shepherd types here exceeds the percentage of the population who are competent owners and trainers of such dogs...
