I have two fairly fizzy Terriers living next door and my youngest bitch can't help but react to them. 

So much so this summer, that she managed to put her head straight through the fence panel (theirs) that had rotted at the bottom (as directly on the ground rather than above a gravel board).

Hubby immediately went out and got a new fence panel, and we have been very strict with Inka not getting her kicks out of responding to the scurrying and yipping the other side. 

She is not allowed within two feet of the fence, certainly not to touch it.  Things have calmed down so much so that she barely reacts, other than the odd yip if they have been very barky.

She had not reacted until now because normally the dogs next door are  not in that part of the garden except in good weather, as in bad weather they are confined to the paved patio area of which only about 6 feet connects with our garden boundary (their house is set furtehr forward than ours), so not as exciting as them running the fence in the main garden.

So insisting on the dogs both ignoring each other and not getting hyped while in the garden is important, ans of course good solid fencing.  If the fence is not solid then  a secondary screen will be needed up the dogs eye height.  So about 3 feet.

I think you meant to see IT IS UNUSUAL for this breed to be dog aggressive as they are very gregarious as a rule

Brainless you are as usually correct, it is unusual for a breed that works in a pack to be dog aggressive, most self respecting Husky would, when finding themselves off lead, take off for a 30 mile run in a straight line only returning when they found they were hungry providing they had not met with an accident by then. But sadly not all pure breeds are bred with the breed temperament in mind and not all dogs looking like Huskies are in fact Siberian Huskies many are cross breeds but that would not be recognised as such by the GP.

And I speak as some one who has received a visit from a Dog Warden because someone complained I was keeping Timber Wolves they were talking of my 21" Elkhound but don't let a good imagination get in the way of the truth and the fact that I had told him on numerous occasions they were not wolves nor were they wolf x GSD.

> someone complained I was keeping Timber Wolves

sorry for laughing  :-)  :-)

Sometimes we dog people forget that a lot of folk wouldn't know one breed from another.  But the thought of your Timber Wolves has put a smile on my face!

Perhaps he thought I was breeding miniaturised version, LOL

I've been bitten once in my life - by a Yorkshire Terrier!! and yes, it was tiny!

I don't 'like' bull breeds, particularly staffies and mastiffs, no particular reason why (although an attack by one bull mastiff on another at a show was a pretty scary sight) and I'm not scared of them, so I make myself speak to them deliberately. Mainly because I feel sorry for the owners who are sometimes treated as pariahs because of the breed they own.I've yet to speak to a 'bad' one. I'm sure that it is the same for owners of rotts and dobermanns. 
The one dog that I'm wary of is the good old farm collie - had too many of them sneak around the back of me awaiting its opportunity to nip, but then I have owned a farm bred border collie myself who was fear aggressive.

Our fears are often irrational (speaking as someone who is absolutely terrified to the point of phobia by moths :-) ), and I'm sure the OP can't help her fear no matter how irrational it may appear to others. I think the main thing you can do is not let this dog build up as a monster in your mind before you meet it. You could treat it as you would introducing a new dog to your home. Start by checking your fences are secure. Get a couple of cheap fleece blankets, give one to your dog and the other to the lady moving next door for her dog. After a few days swap them over so the dogs are familiar with each others scents. Let them meet somewhere neutral - the lady's garden might be a good place before her dog takes ownership of it. If you think you will be stressed and this might affect your dog then get someone else to do the meeting - maybe the trainer at your club? I always get my OH to do intro's because nothing ever stresses him :-) . If they don't get on then it should be reasonably easy to keep them apart but if they do then this dog could do so much to help both you and your dog overcome your apprehension with rotties or big dogs in general :-).

JMHO but I hope it all goes well

I have had a young couple move in next door to me over the summer & they have a young Rottie, as much as I have an open mind about them, he is already showing very strong territorial instincts, has got out of the garden & gone for a neighbour 3 times, thankfully he had a lot of clothing on so the dog never made contact with skin.

I had extra fencing put up further down the garden (it's a very long one), and it was only to stop 2 particular toy dogs from barking at next doors Collie.  Bearing in mind that they live with 3 Collies.

The little beggars have decided it's easier to try nearer the house (easier to get them in) where there are one or two very tiny chinks betwen the wooden boards.

My little Yorkie boy now stands as close as he can get, with an eye up against a tiny gap, just to wait in case a dog comes into view.  Little sod.

I remember walking with my blue merle collie in some local hills. I sat down for a rest behind a large rock whilst she rootled around sniffing out beetles. The next thing I hear is "******* ****, it's a wolf"! I jumped up to find a petrified jogger and my blue merle collie simpering up to him for a clap whilst he tried in vain to fend her off. I called her off but, before I could get a word in, the jogger launched a barrage of abuse at me for allowing a wild wolf to roam the hills and off he jogged with the final word being he was reporting me to the police!

I spent the next few days scanning local papers for headlines of wolves roaming the scottish hills!!

My fencing is 5ft panels. High tho not particularly strong when it comes to a 10st Rottie bouncing off it.! Neighbours have a fairly large male Staffie that really does bounce off the fence at the bottem of garden. He sounds quite nasty tho the owners say he's fine when out on his walk. I have wondered if its this thats made my girl timid. When he does it, she runs indoors until he's gone.
I can't really afford to refence my garden, its only couple of yrs old, I had it done to contain my dog which it does well, but it wasn't done with a very big dog in mind. Surely it is down to the dogs owner to erect suitable fencing.
One last question of you very knowlegable people. If the worse happens and it does go for my girl, does anyone have any suggestions on how to put an end to it. Would my pet protector work? Or stone bottle etc etc.

My rott is petrified of the pet corrector spray but my staff isn't phased by it at all.  If you do want to use it you should see how it affects your dog as your dog may end up upset by the noise but it doesn't bother the rott at all which would be counteractive with an already nervy dog. 

With regards to the fence my rott can put his paws on my shoulders and be eye to eye with me so chances this rott could put his head/nose over a 5' fence.  Mine often stands on 2 legs watching the papillion next door with his tail wagging furiously, with little perspective of the size difference!  He is always pleased to see the neighbours and their wee girl although this might have something to do with the sausages they fed him at their first bbq after moving in.
