Tobys mom came to see him yesterday.

Her owners said she has changed so much since she had Toby and his brother. They couldnt actually let her out of their arms in our house. She has become very aggressive. They cant let strangers touch her anymore - she tries to snap at them. She also snapped at Toby any time he went near her.

She was so adorable when we went to pick Toby up 4 months ago.

Is this a female thing, or is it normal after having puppies?

We would like to get a playmate for Toby, and am thinking of a female, but I am wondering is this the usual female attitude kicking in, and is it not avoidable?
