Dog park experiences

Does your doodle get hassled by herding breeds? I swear, they must think my dog is the closest thing they get to a sheep.

I took my dog to fairly large park and while he enjoys a good game of chase, (he's fast as all get out), one dog decided to start trying to nip at him. I said, he's nipping, that's not cool close to the owner who then justifies it by saying her dog was a herding breed. I took that as my cue that it was time to leave and to her credit, she decided to leave as well. I've seen things go bad fast with dogs and I'm very protective, and leave.

But if you know your dog nips, sees it nipping and have no recall, then imo, you're an asshole.

Thanks for reading my vent.
