The best answer is it depends on several things.
If the dogs are friendly familiar with each other, then yes.
If the dogs make up the same pack (family), then probably.
If so, then it depends on the standing of the one approaching the other.
If the dogs are strangers, not likely, but it depends on how their alphas react.
If strangers, then it depends on whose territory is being invaded.
There are other potential scenarios, but these suffice to explain.
Here's the thing, every dog is different. There are some generalities that can be made regarding specific breeds, but these are only potentials at best. For instance:
Dobermans:
Intelligent
Generally territorial
Generally protective
Generally aggressive
Somewhat skittish/shy (but will more often react aggressively)
Retrievers:
Intelligent
Generally territorial
Very protective (especially of smaller children in their family/pack)
Generally mild tempered
Generally shy/submissive
Here's where the difference matters. If a Dobie and a retriever were to encounter each other, likely as not they would warn each other off with growls and lowered tails. They might circle each other with raised hackles and lowered ears. But, the Dobie is more likely to attack. Between the two though, if either is in protective mode, from personal observation, the Dobie is more likely to retreat/give ground if hurt. Most retrievers will defend their charges to the death. The Dobie might come back, but being more skittish, it is more likely to retreat than to stand and die.
The only reason for one dog to invade the territory of another though are all biological or genetic in nature.
- Seeking food or water
- Seeking shelter
- Seeking a mate
- Seeking acceptance
- Seeking approval of pack authority (Alpha, Beta, etc.), and this is more specific to human/canine interactions.
So, don't anthropomorphize it any more than it already is.

Can a Doberman beat a leopard in a fight?
This is sort of like asking if an American can beat up a Russian. Both are humans, just slightly different. More often than not, fights come down to the individuals, as they would with dogs. However, no one should EVER make dogs fight. You would have to be the worst type of scum.

Why cut Dobermans tail?
As for the ear cutting, there is a number of reason. Originally, the breed was created to protect its master. Meaning to fight effectively. After many accidents where the tail was broken, it became standard to cut the tail soon after birth; when IT DOESN'T HURT AT ALL. The cartilage is still very smooth at that time. You can compare this to a circumcision for a young baby boy. Second, it is quite obvious that the tail is somewhat very ugly and doesn't fit the rest of the doberman's body. So it became a question of taste. But everyone agrees on that one. Finally most owner cut it because it is part of the breed's standard.

Do golden retrievers and German shepherds get along well?
No, the Labrador Retriever is recognised as a completely separate breed to the Golden Retriever. All though both of these breeds were originally bred to retrieve, they were bred along different lines. The Labrador Retriever has a shorter coat and can come in black, brown (chocolate) and blonde (yellow). The Golden Retriever (as it's name suggests) is almost always golden in colour with a longer, flowing coat. There are several other Retriever breeds that look similar, including the Flat-coated Retriever, Curly Coated Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. All of these breeds were bred for a similar purpose but are each individual Kennel Club recognised breeds, except the Golden Retriever and the Labrador Retriever are much more common.
Who would win a fight a boxer or a golden retriever?
