I have to say that I think several people are reading into what some of us are trying to say. I don't think Dazzi thinks here is a golden, I hate it, I am going to get it. She checks out all dogs as they come near. But if it is a golden, she will go after it. I never said that there wasn't something about the dog, hair, ears, smell or whatever that she recognized - just that for whatever reason she does not get along with most goldens and gsps. And Anna may be right, as I did say it may have to do with the fact that she is part golden and she feels a need to dominate. The one thing I can tell you is that I leash her when I see a golden or cocker spaniel or gsp coming into the park now as she has drawn blood on 2 different goldens, 1 gsp, and 1 cocker spaniel. Sometimes I can let her off the leash while they are there, other times I can't.
She is also not found of any dog that tries to mount her. But she does not go after every dog of a certain breed that has tried.
