Or do they just see them as another dog? We are going to my Brother's today and they have 2 shih-tzus. We have a 9 month old shih tzu. Just wondering how well they are going to hit it off. Our puppy plays well with others but has never met her own breed yet.

No.

Dogs aren't racist.

Towards their own kind maybe, but not for humans.

Most dogs think they're little furry people.

Mine does. She's a purebred and recognizes her superiority to mutts.

We have a chocolate lab that doesn't like black people. It is very embarrassing.

mine seems to get along better with labs and lab mixes. He hates all pits and pit mixes because they are trashy.

Have a golden retriever, and he could give 0 fricks about other goldens that show up to the dog park.

The only thing my dog cares about is whether or not the other dog has a vagina.


That determines how he acts.

bullshite. My dog tries to kill the UPS guy when she sees him. My parents dog will quietly watch the PGA on weekends and goes crazy when Tiger Woods is on screen.

GSPs tend to play together at the dog park. It could be because there aren't many other dogs that can match their energy level.

They probably do, but just don't give a frick. Dogs care more about being happy and making others happy to be so petty as to care about breed.

Pit bulls recognize all breeds as a chew toy.

If the other dogs look like a person's leg, they get along great!
