Cross Breeds

Can dogs know that they are same Dog Breeds when they saw same dog breeds?

Like when Dalmatian met Dalmatian, can they know they are same breeds?

1. NO! Can't care either!
2. I think my Doberman knows. He acts completely a fool when hes around another doberman but when he meets another breed of dog he just acts normal.
3. I believe some dogs know. I agree with the Doberman comment - my Doberman seems to pick out the Dobes in a dog crowd and gravitate towards them more than the other dogs. He also tolerates the males a lot more than he would with other breeds of males.
4. I mentioned this the other day ........ as my current Basset, unlike all those I bred myself, has only ever lived, from just under 4 months, with my Whippet, I'm certain he thinks he looks like a Whippet. And on the other hand, going by how she reacts when we meet other Whippets (she doesn't!), I'm sure she thinks she looks like him, a Basset!! She came to us at 9 weeks, and lived with my elderly Basset, before the lad I have now. When we had our 'pack', they always reacted strongly when we met up with other Bassets but mostly ignored any other strange dogs.
5. My Border Collies are very different when they meet a Border Collie compared to any other breed. They are also much more tolerant of Border Collies they meet. I know my dogs can identify their breed when they meet them.
6. I believe so. My dog will flock to any other black lab. More so the black ones than the other colors, though he will hang around a chocolate too. The more time I spend around dogs the more I believe it. I see more of a hanging around same breeds or even similar breeds.
7. i think so because two pugs i walk are very dog aggressive but not with other pugs at all ...
