No, Sadie will be a year old on Christmas. It's definitely a territorial/top puppy/female-male problem. She knows and accepts that Sheba and I share Alpha dog status and she's very subservient to us, but if Boudreaux gets too close to me, her toys, her food, her sisters, etc. she just goes ape $hiite. She doesn't do this with JB, only Boudreaux.

I've been controlling her and removing her from the situation, then keeping her separated from all of them for a bit. She's fine for awhile, but then with no warning she and Boo will be playing and she'll turn on him. It's really scary.

Lady, you may have a tussle or two. Adult dogs rarely hurt a pup but it may cause a shaky spot in the pecking order.

My Jackie is obviously the beta dog but she isn't happy about it. Our favorite phrase for her when she is grousing is "I hate hind tit".

Actually without Solitare I think she would have been one of those nervous quivering dogs. Solly has provided strong leadership and made a better dog of Jackie.

Jackie has blossomed and as a result she is a little cranky of having #2 in her resume.

Fine her $10,000.00 and make her sit out 5 games.

Sounds harsh, but it works around here!
