My dear friend Kathy who passed away, used to raise Afghans..two sisters, always together...ran every day together on a coupler. Kathy was running them one morning, when one sister turned to the other and attempted to slaughter her...it was instantaneous. She nearly severed her sisters juggler. After that, they could never even LOOK at each other without hackles up. I dont allow my bitches together...I do "dog/bitch" for the yard rotations. I see no point in pushing the envelope.

They grew up together, half sisters. ...and one day , out of the blue they started fighting and from that day on they were enemies until one of them died at the age of 11 1/2. My bitch is always separated with her pups from the others until such time as she feels safe to let them approach. Actually, each bitch is different, you just have to play it by ear.

For no reason I could see, the younger of the two attacked the older bitch with the obvious desire of killing her. Thank heavens Herb was home. We got them separated, but from then on they hated each other and were never able to be together, again. It has been my experience that two males will fight and settle the argument, but two bitches will fight to the death. I would never leave two of them alone unsupervised.
