LOl....she is not defensive at all, and in fact usually just lays down if I stop to talk to someone. I had her in the bank today and she fell asleep while I was talking. Later someone came into the office and she went up to say hi then curled back up under my desk and took a nap while we had a meeting.
But people don't take the time to find out if she is nice or mean, they just assume she is mean because of her breed.
In our advanced obedience class a lady let her dog run off leash and it jumped on Jasmine while she was laying down. The two began to fight, but everyone is now afraid of Jas, not her dog, even though it was her dog that started the problem.
