Okay I lost it today everyday I take zorro for his walk on the beach he loves the beach!! But everyday al least 2-5 people stop me and say " is that pup vaccinated" now This bugs me why is their concern? Today I snapped one lady came almost running over to me saying "hey young lady, yes you?" now I turned around thinking maybe she need some help but what I got was " is that young pup vaccinated?? Do you know they can get Sick if their not?" and this was the last straw I said " FU!?k off you stupid BI$TCH it my dog not yours so leave me and any other poor dog owner you see alone" and walked off do you think i was wrong I feel bad but at the same time not I'm not a angry person but everyone has a breaking point? But anyone else have this problem? Btw he is vaccinated but Now I don't want to go to they beach for his walk because people can't keep to them self's and the walks just make me frustrated, I had tried to walk away but some people are just pests!!

I would be thinking that the beach is probably one of the safest places to socialise a puppy and walk it.

I would think so too, if you walk within the zone where the water is lapping. Ground gets washed regularly, almost impossible to get parvo.

Odd that people would immediately assume your pup wasn't vaccinated, unless it's extra tiny? Your reaction does seem a bit harsh as this woman didn't know you'd already been asked a bunch of times.

Are you serious...

In terms of disease risk, I agree with RSG.

I suppose it would depend on if it was a dog beach or not.

Personally I find beaches quite dangerous- you get all sorts of idiots who just let their dogs run wild becuase its a beach... not a good place for socializing a puppy.

I can see how it'd get annoying for you to be asked a few times. I'd just say ''Yes, he is thank you'' :). I don't think people mean any harm, the lady you saw today had no idea of knowing how often you get asked that question.

There are always going to be people who want to stop you on your walk with a dog- breed fanciers, people asking what breed it is, people who want to tell you that they once had a dog of the same breed, people who want to know where you got your dog, people who want to give you advice on training etc.Most of them I just reply politely and walk on.

I do say but I have had enough so many people say it try don't use any tact at all thy could say " how old is the little one" and go from there start a friendly conversation but no its " hey you? Is he vaccinated" I just find it so rude? That why I lost it was sick of being polite to thos rude people who really had not right to ask that?

If you have issues with people being rude, why do you think a very rude response is OK?

Sorry but I think you're over reacting. They are concerned about your puppy, even if you think they should mind their own business.

Yep. Lots of salt, wind , sand , breeze and water... makes for less chance of disease

Providing dogs are allowed on the beach, I really can't think of anywhere better

Wow. What a great ambassador for dog ownership you are.

I was just thinking the exact same thing raz...there was no need to be so rude to the lady, I'm sure she was just being concerned for the health of your puppy.

:eek: I think it was incredibly wrong. Not to mention unnecessary, vulgar and incredibly offensive. What's wrong with biting your tongue and singing out in a cheery voice " it's alright, he's older than he looks and full vaccinated'' and keep walking - is that really so hard? I've had certain breeds where I get the same comment 100 times over, it can get annoying but people are only trying to think of the dogs welfare or be friendly.

I feel sorry for that poor woman who is probably quite shaken by being sworn at so aggressively. :(
