Stupid. Anyway- so along came the corgis shortly after that. I have never had any problems with a specific type of dog- either your dog is friendly or it's not. Sometimes gender can be an issue (as someone else posted) but generally speaking- a dog is a dog. I foster alot of dogs- and my own dogs adjust and adapt really quickly. Sure, there have been scuffles but that has more to do with dogs being dogs. I have noticed among fosters and friends dogs that dogs without a tail can sometimes be harder to introduce- dogs rely heavily upon body language and when there is no tail it sometimes can alter the response of a normally friendly dog. The same goes for bulldogs and other snorty/wheezy breeds. Lots of dogs get freaked right out about them. Funny.
