Russell Terriers can be quite feisty with other dogs. They have a strong prey drive and may chase smaller animals, so supervision is key.

Overall, my experience has been great with my Russell and other dogs. They tend to play well but can have their moments of jealousy. I've noticed they can get a bit protective of their toys. Just be sure to supervise and let them play in neutral areas.

It really depends on the individual dog. Some Russell Terriers are super friendly while others can be a bit aggressive. Early socialization makes a big difference.

My Russell is a bit of a diva with other dogs. They love being the center of attention and can get snappy if another dog approaches too closely. Engaging them in games helps redirect that energy into positive interactions.

My Russell is friendly but can be a bit barky around new dogs. They've got a playful side, but their terrier instincts kick in if they feel threatened. Socialization is really important. I found that introducing them to other dogs in a controlled setting helps a lot. They can learn to play nicely after some initial barking. Just take it slow, and watch their body language.

They're pretty good once socialized.
