Dogs fight to win; bitches fight to the death. No way would I take a chance. The girls are girls. i have seen them be the best of friends for years, then something inexplicable. It just isn't worth it to take that chance. Carolyn Maureen Murkland <murk@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Stormy, It isn't up to them to decide anything.........YOU pick the Jr Alpha bitch. I go by age. Right now I have 2 girls running together. Lee is 3 1/2 and Naughty is 2 1/2. Naughty is a pushy little thing for sure. Lee was on the couch with me.......and Naughty decided to get up in between us........I SAW the look Lee gave her....and I instantly got up and made Naughty get off the couch! I will not tolerate the younger ones trying to jump the rung, so to speak.
