The Airedale Terrier is a 1 year-old female; the female Labrador is 6 years old. The Labrador is trotting towards her owner. The Airdale follows the Labrador, trying to catch her attention. When the Labrador reacts with a mild threat display, the Airedale crouches down, then crawls and leaps forward, then back, exhibiting play / active submission / testing behaviours.
