Ah, he did see my dogs when they first saw us, lol. He did stop to look for a couple of seconds but he just happened to be where he was anyway, not because he'd seen us but he did go back to them when they shouted him. I'm glad because our Jess can be such a bugger with other dogs.
He's ok with other dogs though. They have a rhodesian ridgeback also and she's as soft as a brush.
