Here is my precious little Abby, punishing some "bad boys". This is my cousin's male Rotweiller, about a year and a half. When he comes over, she absolutely DOMINATES my other male and the Rot. She'll pin them into a corner on the deck, and not let them out. They sit there panting, and she snaps at them when they try and leave the corner.
Don't worry--it's in fun. This is just how they all play, and nobody gets hurt. They've been playing together since pups. She was HIGHLY socialized as a pup--took her to the dog park constantly from three months of age. Even then, it was her world. At three months and about 18lbs, she got in a fight with a full grown Husky. The owner pulled the Husky off---but Abby was still fighting this dog five times her size. Her best friend at the time was a 250lb Mastiff--they'll roll a giant ball around together, with Abby savagely barking at him.
She is never aggressive--just very dominant. Obviously, once she was grown I couldn't take her to the park, she'd just terrorize dogs more submissive than her. Never hurt them, just dominate. Truly, I've never seen a female to her equal as far as this goes. I know I could train it out of her, but they stay fenced and it is never a problem, or I'd fix it. I'm a responsible pet owner and once I saw her temperment, I knew I'd have to control her environment. But.......enjoy the pics!!
