Hey Everyone,

Have yet another question. This is the first time we have ever owned two dogs at the same time, yet alone Yorkies. We adopted the boys together about 2 months ago, and at 4.5 years old they have been together since birth so I am puzzled by their behavior. I was not told that they "fought" until after we had them for a few days and they started. We got them neutered and the vet said it takes some time for the hormones to calm down, which isn't a problem, I just don't want anyone hurt.

What happens is 90% of the time, they love to be together and have separation anxiety if they are not. It's that 10% of the time (about once a week) that they fight and you have to physically break it up, tell them to stop, and then they go right back to wanting to be together. The guy that had them previously said they fight after 10 pm because they are tired, that's not the case. So far, it has been under the birdcage, in the kitchen, on the bed, the sofa, and floor, at various times. Any suggestions on what could be the cause? I'd hate to separate them but having being bitten severely by a 100-pound dog last year during a dog fight, am afraid of dog fights. This went on for too long at their previous home, so I wonder if it's not too late to fix it.

Does anyone else have 2 males or 2 yorkies at that who get along beautifully sometimes and then have "fights" occasionally?

Thanks,
Mel
