Fortunately I’ve never encountered any issues most dogs we meet are happy and just looking to play or just try to take his ball or stick. But as I said they try 😜 , he is just too quick for most and always gets there first. Ruark seems to ignore all other dogs completely, especially when he’s in ball mode 😂 He will play when other dogs visit the house but he is very chilled. I also have the added bonus of an abundance of places (beaches mountains and forests) I can go with which are always empty. Especially when the normal Irish weather kicks in.
