do dogs love company of their breed of dogs or any breed of dog.. my friend got a german shephard and though she is friendly with all breed of dogs but when ever she sees any German Shephard then she is uncontroable and would pull of leash so hard. i was thinking is it because dogs love their own breed more than others? any comments?

I do think that dogs like company as they enjoy seeing different things as well as different people.My friend has to leave the radio on for the dog in the kitchen as well as a tv on in the front room other wise he whines all the time until she gets home.It loves the tv.

Dogs defeniatly love company! And not necessarily always another dog...some dogs are content with people as their only companions. But I think dogs are like people when it comes to who they like and who they don't. I work with dogs and I have seen some pretty goofy/somewhat judgemental behaivors on their part! In group plays A LOT of the time most of the dog in there would stay away and ignore these two cute little pugs...and they were the sweetest little dogs, I felt so bad for them! I swear that some dogs will stay away from dogs of a certain color during group plays (has it been proven yet that they see color!?) lol. And I can almost sense that one dog will not like another based on it's look (coat, weight, color, etc). So dog's are very picky about who they hang out with, just like people (although I don't believe most people are as judgemental as the dog's I described above) lol.

Hi Purnima 175 Not only dogs every animal love company of their breed. There may friendship with other breed but when he has to love he loves to his breed only. Like dogs too......
