They are to make a dog appear larger – but a truly confident dog wouldn’t feel the need to big himself up in this way.

Just like little dogs which attack bigger dogs – an aggressive stance is usually to make the other dog go away because they are insecure or fearful.

Hackles are a bit like that – don’t push it mate, I’m big, look at my hackles!
