Our new pup goes to the farmers markets every Saturday morning. Meets new people, including plenty of children. Hangs around the petting zoo. Lots of sounds, smells and sights. Opposite a football oval where we walk a few laps. I dont walk around where the produce is (outdoor market), only around the breakfast/coffee stalls. Perfect morning out for him, he is knackered until late afternoon. There is one small white fluffy thing that is never on a leash that is a serial pest. I am all for the markets as being dog friendly, provided they are on the leash as there are too many farm animals/kids/people with food to trust pretty much any dog off leash.

My BC loves kids. But only when they are running, in which case she likes to nip at their heels. As a result, she stays on a leash in public and kids are told she isnt friendly. When my nieces visit, she stays outside and they watch through the window. I wish they could cuddle up together and live happily ever after, but it isnt going to happen and we're all ok with it. Ditto goes for small dogs and my BC. I dont think she is aggressive at all. Just a BC.
