my rosemary does well after she see's that they are friends and no threat but its when ppl she hasent seen before come in and like try to like shake my hand or if they get loud or make movements towards me she try's to protect me,nikki is just a big mush when she first meets someone and bear is usually fine i just have to raise my voice. the incident were she bite(sp) someone i was out of town and she was in my mothers care and apparently a friend of hers came over and went to give her a hug and bear nipted her in the leg nothing bad but it still makes me worry.
