Thanks for all the replies.

Just to clear up some possible confusion. The adult rott lives with 2 other dogs, including a chihuahua. As far as I know it's never showed any signs of aggression towards another dog except for 1 pit bull who initiated the aggression.

As for the meet, it was quick. The dog was brought into the room (without me knowing it was going to happen), the adult took one sniff and then grabbed my puppy. That all happened in about 5 seconds. So I did not have an oppurtunity to see if the adult was going to react this way.

I make sure I control all "meet & greets" with other dogs, but this one got out of my control.

So far, my puppy has done well with meeting other dogs after this incident. He's a bit hesitant about meeting a dog bigger than him, but he gets over it. It only took him about 2 minutes to get over that hesitation meeting 2 GSH last night.

Thanks!
