My dog is a Collie X. He does bark when someone at the door but normally stops but if he sees the orange jacket thru the door he will continuously bark (more of a playful fuss me kinda bark),He would prob lick the postie and jump up wanting to be fussed rather than bite.

My JRT is scared of one postman since he bashed her with his bike (completely his fault) so the thought of getting a nip in first does cross her mind if we pass him on the pavement. She's fine with all the other posties in the area tho.

oh dear! Not really a laughing matter, but does criminalising these breeds really help anyone?!

My JRT is THE softest most docile affectionate dog in the world!

Maybe posties in the UK should be offered some dog training like the ones in america are? Or the owners...
