My Yorkie, Daizee, has been socialized with so many dogs but still gets bratty and barks and tries to bully big dogs. This weekend there were 4 dogs in our house (each daughter has a dog). At first my daughter's little rescue (maltese & ?) acted like she was going to attack but after about an hour, the dogs all got along great and did so for the entire week's visit. I think you have to monitor them and I would not leave them alone together in a room. Jealousy or fear can cause them to attack and hurt or kill another dog. A dog was killed recently in my neighborhood by another medium sized dog.

Well we just gated off the area we are sitting in while I am here over night so they are not together. I don't want to get that supprize reaction out of the doberman because gizzie cant be friendly. My other sister has a pomerianian and they did the sniff thing to each other today then proceeded to ignore each other. I am going to look into this furthur when we return to Texas next week
