Is there much of a different in how males and females get along normally??

Lovely photos!
As Christian stated I'm too inexperienced to discuss this matter
but I've noticed that since Lorka was around 16-17 months she started showing preferences - she likes some dogs more than others. She loves the "old friends" which she has probably close to a 100
, and all the new ones that she meets
which are not afraid of her. The sex, size, age does not matter at all. So far she has two dogs towards which she shows hostility and growls "seriously" at them: a 5 year-old male greyhound and a 2-year old female labrador. The only thing they have in common is that they both visibly show fear when she approaches them.
With Tina we had similar experienced to yours with Flint. Tina used to be very friendly when a pup, then, when maturing - we had to be careful with unknown dogs, but when she was around 6 - 7 she could be trusted again. When seeing a new dog, she used to slowly approach him/her wagging her tail, if the dog returned frindship, they played together, if showed hostility, she walked away with her tail up, sometimes growling. During her lifetime she had just a few incidents with other dogs, never really serious. But she had a few enemies which she really hated and we had to be careful.
