At the approach of the female Dogo Argentino, the female Rough Collie responds by orienting herself frontally and exhibiting a greeting. The two exhibit social olfactory exploration, and the Dogo orients herself toward the Collie's head with an offensive facial display, and a front paw raised. The Dogo begins to leap forward, and the Collie reacts by swerving to the side and re-orienting frontally. The Dogo exhibits chin over, and when she attempts to jab the Collie with her paw, the Collie swerves to the side. The Dogo leaps forward and hugs the Collie, pressing her down. When the Collie re-orients frontally, the Dogo exhibits chin over and a paw jab. The Collie swerves and moves away, followed by the Dogo. The Collie stops in a lateral stance; the Dogo exhibits T position, then bows; the Collie swerves, and the Dogo pushes down the Collie with her paws. The Collie swerves and re-orients frontally, and the two females face off wrestling. The Dogo again tries to push down the Collie with an agonistic pucker; the Collie reacts with a frontal attack and open mouth display, a leap forward and an inhibited bite to the head.
