LGDS need to work with other dogs they should NEVER be dog " aggressive" just dog dominant and aggressive to predators such as Wolf and Coyote.
i have over 2000 pics of them working witih other dogs, to living in a pack with Yorkies, Maltese, GSD, Neo's, etc etc

Same species yet but not the same thing.
Regarding vet visits I can hand off most my dogs off to my Vet, because once a CAS is introduced they accept extended members such as Vet tech.
My harder dogs are STACKED up and hold for shots etc.
LGDS are not monster in DEFENSE all the time.
The only ones in defense all the time are UNSOCIALIZED Dogs . this is human error in part breeding and part lack of training.
Some breeds have higher defense drives than others.
And yes some are dog aggressive because they are NOT working LGDS. But more of a pet bred to look big and not work. ( or figthing lines have occured from Estrela to ASD to CAS or Co's )...
LGDS can not protect a herd ALONE, if they want to KILL each dog they see they are in fact killing thier back up so it is NOT cost effective.
Dogs that lack pack drive can not work effectively where Predator pressure is daily.
