    @Saving so nice to hear there's other people with the same problem! We have been giving regular baths to our b, so I don't know if that really helped or not. Anyways, it took a while for me to bring Nova again to the dog park, because I was a bit afraid the same situation would happen again. I was there a couple of days ago, and no one tried to hump her. (I must say all dogs had same age approx.) Thank you for your comment replies! :)

    @sarahmiri - I would say no to carrying him.... don't pick him up, but get down to his level as Zande pointed out in her response.

    Some good advise here… add to that, when we talk about what they have to offer the breed, that doesn't mean just the gene pool.. It means, at least to me, first and foremost a family companion... because that is what our dogs are, part of the family first.. show/performance/possible breeding comes after. So if you don't have a good temperament to start with you are already behind the 8 ball. And while you or someone else with experience with a dog with a "questionable" temperament might be able to overcome problems, generally John Q Public can not...
