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

my shepard has adopted the attitude of my goldendoodle when it comes to my boys. she is now used as a tackling dummy just like the doodle without complaint. i do see that she can be aggressive towards other dogs but she quiets down quick when given a command. i often wonder how she would react with an intruder in the house
