Well....the everyday reality of so many dogs in a fairly enclosed space, is that no, sometimes they don't always all get along. There are dominance skirmishes, and all sorts of falling-out amongst dogs. And food aggression.
But I have noticed a tendency among "Street-dog temperament dogs", and that is, they understand immediately any chastisements from others, and will often slip into the "pack"mentality quite easily....that is if another dog behaves in a dominant way, others will allow it to do so, and fit in. That behaviour can prevent escalation of violence. They have an iinnate survival instinct and will do what it takes to fit in and protect themselves. Large numbers of dogs actually have a system of self-management if left alone. (well, maybe with a watchful eye on them.)
Apparently there is a compound which is for general socialisation- (for instance not for particular dogs with special needs, such as iinjured...mothers and pups....or pups alone...or particularly aggressive dogs who need work) -And skirmishes do sometimes break out there. They will be monitored of course, and any which are bullied or can't get to the food will be re-located.
