Kristin,
My mother in law lives in Indianapolis and, me,husband and my stumpy Corgi visit her every Christmas. I always thought that having a playmate/playdate for Palette is good idea and we tried to set up play date with my brother in law Huskies(2 of them) but poor Palette came back with nipping mark on her muzzle.Palette was calm,no barking lunching but Ivan (Male Husky) stalked up to her and at one split second,he nipped her and Palette screamed...
My brother in law told us Ivan is lady's man and pretty good with female dog but it was not the case with my dog..
