IMO most do not understand their dogs. When I see nap raise on back of big dogs and they taking an aggressive stance they are not in friendly mode and I give them space or distance.
I'm sorry you say you won't be getting any more dogs. You sound like a knowledgeable and sensible pet owner.
As far as owning a large dog in The Villages, we have a 70 lb rescue, Lollipop.
There is a private dog park on ten acres where dogs can exercise off leash and socialize. We go there daily.
