Okay.. Breed personality? 

Ok now THAT is a tough question, lets see bob and Rex are opposites, Rex's personality is kinda like a border collie, he has more of a prey drive than bob, he's motivated by praise, he's naturally more of a herded then a guardian/nourisher, he's built different from bob too. Bobs personality is kinda hard to describe, he will guard/nourish anything that belongs to his people, he's more food motivated than Rex, he's not a herder by nature (he will and does herd it's just WAY different than how Rex herds, Rex herds by pushing the animal like a border collie would, bob uses whatever it takes to get the animal where you want it, one day we were moving the goats and the billy doesn't like bob so he'd try to butt him, bob used this to his advantage and hopped around in front of him so the billy would follow him, and it worked to.) he's more of a hunter and nourisher than Rex (yes I mean nourisher), he's more independent than Rex, he's got a bigger build than Rex and he's more easy going and less high strung than Rex. Really it just depends on the dog.

Interaction with other dogs? My main thing is I can't have a breed that is typically dominate because of Chloe. I have had dogs like that before and with them and Chloe, too many fights.

Ok there's something I can answer, mostly it depends on the dog, Rex being raised with 6 other dogs till he was 4 months old does have a few resource guarding issue, he likes other dogs but he's more of a dominate personality than bob, bob on the other hand could care less about where he is in the pack, he just doesn't care that much, bob ignores little yippy dogs (it doesn't matter what breed it is, if it's a small yippy dog he literally ignores it, doesn't even look at it) and so far there has only been one dog he did not like, that was a big male lab.
