Up until this incident there had not been any aggresive behavior except for normal playing and I mean normal playing. If one had ever started growling as If trying to take an alpha stance in a situation I had always been able to say NO and they would stop or if the growling continued then it was time for time out in the crate. When I would let whomever out again they would play again normally.
I had not considered Angel being in heat and she was not going to play.
Harmony walked too close to a treat she considered hers and went after her with a growl and bit her.
Yeh I have to keep Harmony separated from the main three.
What I am calling my main three right now is ,Angels daughter from her first litter, and my male who will be used to breed, but go figure my sick male with a liver shunt problem they will play with forcefully but will not go after him to hurt him.
I believe it is because he will bark louder and longer at them to keep away.
So I see the others backing away as if they are saying ," Look at this kid, uh let him play."
