A gripe for a selected breed? - Page 2

MVF, my Chihuahua likes very short-haired dogs with pointy ears. Females with short hair can get away with floppy ears, though. . Especially if they're black or black and tan. He seems to like dogs who look like HIM...but he doesn't care if it's a Pit w/cropped ears, a Dobe, or a Min Pin. Seriously. He despises all GSDs (probably from living w/a bunch of them) and long-haired dogs. He thinks Dutch Shepherds are ok, and some Mals. No GSDs are welcome at any time. Here are a few pics of him w/Pits vs. GSDs.

Hi poseidon
I have one male that dislikes any type of bullbreed or bullbreed cross, also white dogs and now rottweilers.
It is certainly nothing that is passed down the lead as he spots them before I do, individual dogs that have threatened him or attacked him in the past he only has to smell them.

It started off when in a 6wk period he was attacked by several Staffie crosses an American Bulldog and a couple of westies, all had a lot of white or were all white. The vet nurse at my vets didnt realy believe me untill one day I was in and there was only a lurcher and a collie in, he then lay down and went to sleep, instead of his usual bad behaviour.
I worked hard with him and he will now tollerate these breeds/types at a distance but if they approach he will attack. Then last year he was attacked by a Rottie, he went into shock and I nearly lost him, now even though previously he had played with my next door neighbours Rottie he goes into defence mode on site of one. Not sure I will ever get him to accept this breed again as 10mths later he still reacts, I know by his reaction if certain breeds/types are around.
Luckily enough it hasnt affected my other dog, who will only react to another dog in defence if threatened otherwise he will play with any dog.

Hi wildmoor,
I hope my dog's list for intolerance doesn't extend to other breeds.  Glad to know you are making progress.

Her first unplesant encounter was with a male staffie which surprised me at first.  I often believe and still do in a way that male and female generally are ok with each other.  She was only sniffing him while he was peeing and he turned on her.  I had her on a loose lead at the time and the owner of the staffie apologised.  Then two months ago, I guess it was her wariness in her posture in the approach that sparked off the aggression of the other dog.   I now avoid certain breeds especially the ones with wide jaws in case her approach does the same thing. 

Mystere is right in a way in pointing out the tranference of fear.  By merely avoiding proximity to these dogs, I am probably exacerbating the problem with mine.  She is nearly two years old and hopefully in years to come she will take less notice of other dogs.

Jenni78, like your pics of little and large :-)
