You woulda thought that Piper was the Buckingham Palace Etiquette Dog or somethin' as you could soooo see her exasperation and disgusted nose-in-the-air attitude...Piper may as well have said it out loud (in a rather upper-crust British accent) cuz it was completely obvious that Pipe thought that pup was an ill-mannered little upstart! Unlike most other breeds (that I know of) our little ones certainly have strong opinions about many things and are more than happy to make those opinions known, any time, any place!!!

Love your description.
Piper and Max would get along very well. When we brought Teddy home, Max would shoot him looks of the deepest indignation.
Outside of his brother, Max is forgiving toward puppies who display bad manners. After being swatted in the face several times though, he will lean in and give a soft corrective growl. The puppies are usually unfazed and continue to paw at him. Max shakes his head slightly and lets out a little sigh, then looks to me as if to say, "Let's go."
