Wise person wanting to put their dogs together would maybe educate themselves by looking into Brenda Aloff's book on dog language or maybe Turid's book called On talking terms with Dogs. Then turn down the sound on Caesar's TV show and watch all the dog language that he misses to practice until one felt comfortable with what one is seeing. Then put it into practice with safe dogs and then add in the bigger ones.
