This Terrier mix remains still as the male Tervueren mix sniffs him. The Terrier mix has his tail between his legs, his back hunched, and ears folded back, and is exhibiting an agonistic pucker. Two female dogs (a Tervueren mix and a Golden Retriever) then approach. The Terrier mix growl-barks and attacks the male, who swerves to the side and then stops in a lateral stance. The male Tervueren mix moves away, followed by the Terrier mix, who follows him and barks, then displays an agonistic pucker. When the male Tervueren mix leaves, the Terrier mix sneezes twice, then again exhibits a threat display toward the other male dog.
