Temperment, a quick overview.

Temperament: The manner of thinking, behaving, or reacting characteristic of a specific person *or in this case, Animal*

Dogs, just like people, have unique personalities that include their behavior, natural and learned traits and how they react to situations, stimuli, people and other animals.
Each breed of dog has a general guideline as to the traits that a stable dog of that breed should exhibit. Temperament is more then just traits, it is the accumulation of training, socialization, personality, history, genetics,  traits and also current situations. Every dog is different, and while it is acceptable to look for these breed specific traits, one needs to consider all of these things as a whole when understanding their dog's temperament.

Nose to Nose is a No No

As all of us know, socialization is vital to a well adjusted dog. Every dog, regardless of breed, should be well socialized with not only humans but with various dogs as well. Owning a Bully Breed can present unique challenges when it comes to dog-dog interactions however and owners of these breeds need to be extra vigilant to make sure they are acting responsibly and in the best interest of their pets. 

This is where proper introductions come into play and how we introduce our pets with new animals is an important step in future interactions.
