I know what you mean about shar peis - I'm pretty sure it would be about not seeing the eyes. My one reacts really badly to black dogs and as far as I know it's a common problem with dogs.

Thing that amazes me about the dogs when they 'fight' like this is there's no growling, no barking (and Bella loves to bark) they do it all silently! And their tails (long and short) are wagging all the time. And they always do this 'nipping all round one another's mouths'.
I'm always glad I've got a dog that likes and gets on with other dogs - they have such a lot of fun. And see every new dog as a 'potential doggy friend' even if it doesn't always turn out that way.
Strange thing happened yesterday. Someone with a shar pei was approaching towards us. Her dog looked relaxed and Bella was too and wagging her tail expectantly. But when we got close enough for Bella to see it properly she went nuts! She acted really upset and rearing up and barking all agitated and the only thing I could think of was that you couldn't see this dog's EYES at all. It was so wrinkly you just couldn't see them. Didn't look very old either.
I wondered if that phased Bella out a bit?
I mean there are two other bigger shar peis that are walked round here and one is very unfriendly and EVERYONE avoids them (well in fact their owner now does an about turn quickly if he sees any other dogs anywhere at all so obviously knows one of his dogs is the problem). But she obviously didn't think it was those - she knows who they are - same as she knows which GSD she doesn't like. She is perfectly OK with all other GSDs.

One of the reasons we got Rianna was in the expectation that she and Baruska would play like that, but it never happened. That was a big disappointment to me, and now that Baruska is dead poor Rianna only has me to play with and I'm too old to really play with her 'tho I do try when I can

As you can see when they are with another dog - it doesn't compare to us playing with them but, who knows, maybe they are still 'learning' something from that too!
*I think what Mara learned was that there was no way she was getting control of that sofa while Bella was in her flat lol! Mara has always been able to 'pull Bella down' she gets one front leg round her neck. But chooses not to these days, both of them seeming to prefer the play rather than the 'competition'.
In the other, older, video - again it was Bella visiting Orestes in his flat. But they were both puppies still really - about a year old both of them. So both on the sofa the whole time! They wouldn't have been able to reach each other if one had been on the floor!
