Easily distracted by people or horses going past the fence

She playfully growls at younger dogs as she is playing with them and is being very rambunctious.
She plays with the labs and has fun. She kisses the labs every day. When she met the alpha lab she immediately cleaned her mouth

Greets dogs by placing her paws on their back
She'll just drop to ground and roll on back if she is scared by a bigger dog
he growls when the other dog comes upstairs and shows teeth to him...he never has gone at him though.
she submits immediately to all dogs big & small, even guinea pigs.
likes to play with our other dogs, chasing each other, biting legs, play fighting
when a young pup would growl and raise fur on back when he sensed another dog had been in the area or was in the area. no longer does this as an older/more socialized dog.
