If it gets to the point someone is going to get hurt then their leashes are already on them and you can pull them apart.
My Darla met her "cousin" who is a shnauzer (sp) this weekend. My SIL was freaking because her Katie was snapping and growling at my Darla. I said oh let Katie go and they will be fine. Of course I was ready to jump in if need be, but within a few minutes they were best friends, running and playing the day away!! The more she held Katie away from Darla the more Katie wanted to attack her, when we let them both free to meet and check each other out all was well. My SIL was shocked Katie loved Darla!! I wasnt shocked at all...MOST dogs that are well trained will get along just fine. A little scrap is normal to find out the order of senority..once that is figured out..I believe the anomosity will be gone.
Hope this helps!

Also I wanted too add, when they are still on leash let their leashes drag on the ground, dont hold them back from each other...its easy to scoop up the leash and pull them apart if you need to...I have a feeling you will be pleasently suprised!!
