Yes I have other chi's and a poodle. Most of the time he ignores them. He does feel it is his place to keep order. He doesn;t hurt or attack them.. Sometimrs I say he is feeling feisty and will play with the other dogs. I have one little female who is a year older than Neeko is and she is the only one who ignores him/challenges him. That is just Rosey's personality.
