I have a bitch and her 2 daughters together 24/7 with no crates. Yes there have been some scuffles, when I am home. When I am gone, pack leader that I am, short of someone breaking in, they sleep. Now it could come to pass that one day things will not go so well. But I hope to maintain my dominance and thus they will get along because I say so. The scuffles are over either who gets what spot on the fence to yell at the neighbor dogs, or the pup cowtows to the point of annoyance. Right now that is happening a lot right now, Mom is in heat. And Bertha is celabrating Mom's "impending litter". There will be no litter, but Bertha does not care. sheila Maureen Murkland <murk@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ok, here's a question.

Then came No No Naughty. She had 2 half sisters here, both spayed..........and got along great with either of them. Ginny went to live with my daughter...........and that left Lee, named after the infamous Lee Ealy. Naughty and Lee are just the best together........Naughty knows when she has pushed enough and when to hit the ground.. She tends to bug the boys more than her sister. Naughty is 3 and Lee is 5.
