Dogs, like children, usually reflect those who raise them.
Hang in there.
Yeah, he was apparently spoiled rotten and in control. We’ve had him for over a year now and he’s a part of the family. He’s a pleasure when by himself. It’s funny because he cycles through long (3-4 month) periods of getting along and then suddenly gets pissy with everyone. Moody dude. He is really friendly to visitors and such, but hell on the dog pack when his mood swing hits. We lopped the huevos off right after we got him when he was about 1 1/2, which is over a year ago, so that should not be it. Just behavioral and he wants it like it used to be.
