Thanks for this, I had wondered if she could smell my friends dog. Neither of our dogs have been/or will be used for breeding - they are both booked in to be fixed, so we haven't socialised them yet, but it makes sense that Twinkle is perhaps 'protecting' me from this 'other' dog that she can smell.Thankyou Quicksilver - I shall from now on be adopting a 'no tolerance' approach xxx xxx
