Article well describes what is going on on the picture. HOWEVER !!!
This is a matter of training and not a matter of racism amongst different breed of dogs. Thus this may happen if the dogs live in environment which will not teach them what is right and what is wrong and not to do the wrong thing.
PC/+ only methods, short of no training at all, are the biggest culprit in producing environmentally aggressive dogs.
Territoriality causes an aggression amongst dogs of any breed if they are not properly socialized and at the same time trained not to do so.
There is possibility of genetic predisposition to higher dog on dog aggression, but I venture to say that is does not have anything to do with one breed hating another breed because they are more gregarious, but it has to do with the teaching a dog to behave properly in any situation and to keep the dog under physical or verbal control. That is true about the owner of the Lab and GSD too. They are both the culprit here.
By the way, everything written here is the reason why dog parks are dangerous to dogs and their owners and silly idea of someone who see the world through rose glasses.

My dogs "boyfriend" is a lab/pointer. They get to play together almost every night while we're at work and they act like an old married couple, it's hilarious.

well, i cant blame my GSD for their reactions, when i see labs on walks most of them (more like 99%) are off leashes, and yes they are friendly and walk right up to you while their owner screams from 1/4 mile away.."they are friendly" and I am like..."I am not, so get your dog!"...
i simply do not appreciate someone elses dog all over me, the drool, getting hit by a tail or even stepped on (not big offenses more of a nuisance than anything) so of course my dogs seeing/feeling my distaste react to it with warning growl, teeth snap, etc...and i know its not fair to my dogs and it makes them look bad, thank god they listen to my correction but it seems unfair to "do as I say not as I feel"...personal space is the key...for dogs and people..most Labs lack that understanding.

I agree, an obnoxious, in your face lab is the owner's fault.
My dad raised labs and I have a lab mix. Are they extremely happy all the time, definitly yes. Do they like full body contact, definitly yes. Will they lick you to death if given the chance, yes again.
Like any dog, it is just a matter of showing them to respect personal space from day one. Even going up to another dog or animal, my lab will slow down about 10 feet away and then approach. (Just so I am clear, he would love nothing better than to come full force; you can see it all over his body language, but he understands that is not acceptable.)

My GSD loves my Lab (and her littermate who's staying with us for awhile). If anything, the Lab has put her foot down, so to speak, when the (younger) GSD has annoyed her beyond what she feels is acceptable 
.
Now, my sister's Rottie is a different story - he really annoys my GSD. He doesn't follow the generally accepted rules of playtime and gets put in his place quite a bit by her....and he's completely oblivious to it. My GSD will actually take her ball and come sit out for awhile because he gets in her way.
