They can be aggressive towards other dogs but that can be discouraged from the onset and can be totally trained to ignore them.

They are great family dogs, extremely loyal to the family and no one else. I've had two at different times growing up, always liked them. Extremely smart too.
That being said, my lab is equally smart as the Shepherds I had. I think that's somewhat rare for Labs though.
