[Stormy]

I Bought all of mine as little 12 week old puppies except for the oldest girl who is now 8 and we have had her 2 years. I would never take an older dog again, unless it was for rescue and not a choice pet. She is timid, hates men and gets spooked so easily. Not knowing her background I am always feeling badly for her and do not know how to help her or what she fears. There is nothing in our home for her to fear.

I have 2 spayed girls and 3 unnuetered boys. Only problem is occasional attack by oldest male who is 3 yrs and weighs about 10 pounds on the one of my little ones. He is 1 yr old and weighs 5 lbs. That is very scary but I think he is asserting his Alpha position. Cannot leave them alone though as it is frightening and I have heard of bad things happening. The girls have an occasional squabble with each other but they both get along fine with the boys. Of course, FEMALES are usually much nicer in any species....
