The Rottweilers will all go together. They will dig a burrow in the ground to rest in. The pit bulls will lie down together, always in the middle of the pack, out in the sun. And the German Shepherds will go and lie under a shady tree. They all have their own style. Then, when it's time to run again, they'll all fall in as if there were no differences between them at all. The dog and animal in them is far stronger than the breed-- at least when it comes to the serious business of migrating."

Interesting! They do apparently recognize one from their own breed. The question is, though, do they recognize their breed by sight, or do breeds smell differently from one another?
Very interesting, my guess is that while sight plays somewhat of a role, smell is the major indicator, they just smell for other Frito feet!
