from what I have seen they sure can. happy was well socialized right from the start she came accross many breeds including GSPs never had a bad experience with one, just one day she was running against a pointer and you could see the fire in her eyes when she saw that dog, others noticed it too, after that I started to notic how she reacsted to differnt breeds, for example she met a shih tzu for the first time and did not have a problem with it, she was just fine, when she met junior yesterday(bosten terrier, who is normally agressive) and happy greeted him calmly, and junor was a good boy too, Ripley greeted junior not so nicley and Ripley is the friendliest dog I have ever seen, never had I seen him meet a dog he didnt like, but he was snarling at junior, suprised the heck outa me, Ripley is half bosten terrier for heaven sakes! happy, she see's some breeds she likes and others she hates, she seems to like shih tzus, and bostens, but hates pointers, other breeds she goes after but NOTHING like she does when she see's a GSP. happy is a smart dog, she get so pissed off whn ea dog gets a false start flyball, and she seems to always know exactly WHICH dog got the false start and braks at the dog, (she follows the dog with her eyes barking, and she is always barking at the right dog!) the only way I know when a dog has a false start is when the judge blws the whistle but that does not indicate WHO had the false, only that there was one(I run second so I have to watch so I know when and if to let her go) i do think that dogs are smart enugh to know the difference with other dogs.
