I had a large dog before who loved all dogs, but really really loved "fluffy" dogs...by that I mean he would hump any collie, husky, golden he met, be it boy or girl and he was neutered...I never understood it. I think some dogs just have their prefrences, and maybe your pup just doesn't like the way certain dogs smell??
I'm still working with Rizzo on his socilization, he isn't a fan of people still, he gets really nervous around large groups of people, and will bark at anyone and everyone who approaches us on a walk. It's annoying but I'm trying to teach him the sit and wait while telling him quiet as the people walk past. Only problem is they always want to try to pet him, which in turn makes him hop up and dive behind me and then starts his barking fits...Ugh! Unfortunately this happens when I'm walking out in town and cant tell the Italians no, for some reason when they see something they want they "no capito" anything I'm saying, and will continue to try to pet him while he his hiding behind me and barking...does that scream "please pet me" to you????
