Without being able to read any detailed article, other than what was in the OP, what set it off? The mini schnauser not realising it is a snack size bite to the shepherd and wanting to take it on by having a go? Or did the shepherd just feel hungry....? Big difference. Dog defending itself, or dog being an arse...? "Unprovoked" they say....
Kinda relates to above. Shit stirring schnauser a temperment in the breed perhaps? But hey, they are cool dogs with a top attitude. A bit like my foxie.... Thinks he's a big dog and pack leader, top cat chaser.... until he gets his arse kicked by everything, including the cat....
