I'm sorry for the OP's loss but am glad to see the issue of aggression brought up. It's something many can't fathom with our little furbutts but it can and does happen. I can imagine the OP's situation as I have 12 Yorkies myself. Yes, I do breed some of them, not all, but I can't bring myself to re-home mine just because they're not part of my breeding program. I love them all and don't see them as commodities to be bought, sold and traded. Yes, when you have a pack you must be home with them unless you contain them. All ours live in our home. We have 4 bedrooms with only me and my wife here so we have room to segregate them when necessary but usually there is someone here 24/7 and they all have run of the house. If I were in the same situation as the OP, I would reluctantly try to re-home the aggressor for her own good. I couldn't stand to have to keep her separated from the others but that's just me. Maybe there's another solution but I don't see it. It doesn't take many dogs to have this problem; it can happen with only 2. Anyone with multiple dogs that hasn't had this problem should thank their lucky stars and know that 'but for the grace of God go I'. Best of luck to the OP as she goes through this most difficult time.
