In this interaction between two females, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier approaches the Pyrenees Shepherd at a gallop. The two dogs sniff each other, then the Staffordshire displays anus-genital olfactory exploration, and the Pyrenees moves away, followed by the Staffordshire. When she has almost reached her owner, the Pyrenees turns and attacks the Staffordshire, who reacts with a shoulder-hip slam. The Pyrenees displays anus-genital olfactory exploration; the Staffordshire turns and flicks her tongue, displacing her opponent. The Pyrenees seeks support behind her owner, turning around her, still followed by the Staffordshire. The Staffordshire changes her path and confronts the Pyrenees from a frontal position displacing her from her owner and then moving away. The Staffordshire again returns toward the Pyrenees, standing tall and moving with front legs held high, then stops in a lateral stance and approaches frontally. The Pyrenees seeks support from her owner and exhibits an agonistic pucker. The Staffordshire displays a tail-up wag and displaces the Pyrenees from her owner and then leaves the interaction.

The Dalmation x Pointer cross positions herself frontally, wags her tail and arches her neck toward the Airedale Terrier bitch. The Airedale is in a lateral stance beside her owner. When her owner moves, the Airedale swallows and tries to make eye contact with her person. The mixed-breed steps back with one leg and stares at the Airedale, then moves backward a few steps and lies down. The Airedale averts her gaze to avoid eye contact. The mixed breed approaches from behind, and when she begins anud-genital olfactory exploration, the Airedale orients, tail down between her legs and ears flattened. The mixed breed nudges her with her nose displacing her and then interposes herself between the Airedale and her owner, arching her neck when the Airedale re-orients. The Airedale sniffs the mixed breed briefly, then moves away, followed by the mixed breed.
