I have 3 spayed females and 1 neutered male. Cali is almost 7 and I got her at 9 weeks. When I brought her in I had a 7 year old pomeranian who was very territorial and not very friendly. They just pretty much ignored each other and coexisted fine. Then about 1 1/2 years later I brought in Pixie who was 13 months when I got her. She came in and took on the alpha or pack leader. She took to my pom instantly and would lay right between her front paws all the time. And my pom let her. Then about 1 year after I brought Pixie home I got Roxie from Pixie's breeder. She was 4 months when I brought her home and Pixie took to her immediately. When Roxie got a little older she and Pixie would pick on Cali. Never to the point of hurting her but they have all grown out of that. 2 years ago when I inherited Nikki a neutered rescued male, who was estimated to be 15-17 years old he took an instant dislike to Cali and to this day will go after her. Fortunately he has no teeth and can't hurt her. She never fights back. He has gone after Roxie a few times but she stands up to him so he doesn't try it much. He has never, ever gone after Pixie and will even let her sleep in his bed. So all in all they get along fine. Pixie will get on the others if they aren't listening to me and she will lay by them if they aren't feeling well. So she seems to be the pack leader. |
