They should not be overly friendly toward a stranger. When we got Patriot here, he showed me a temperament that I was not used to. He would stand in a crowd, and people could pet him, and he would just look straight ahead. It took him a long time to acknowledge me, but when he did, then I was part of his world, But, everyone else, was landscape. I know this is correct temperament, but I am not crazy for that attitude. It is great on a dog I am judging, not so much on one I am living with.
