Well I'm here to ask some advice. Duncan is now 6 mos old. I have 2 older dogs one is 3 yrs the other 4 yrs. All seem to get along pretty well for the most part. However Duncan my yorkie thinks he is pack leader. He tries very hard to bully the other 2. Baxter (Yorkie-poo) is pretty smart, but has confidence issues I think. Cassidy (bull-jack) is very smart and the only female of the group and the middle child definitely the pack leader. Well Cassidy and Duncan wrestle quiet a bit. They get a little rough and I do watch to make sure it is play and not fighting. Lately Duncan has begun getting a bit aggressive. Do you think it is due to my allowing the kids to wrestle. This is not their only play. They actually chase each other through my house from the kitchen into the living room around the love seat and behind the rocker and back through the kitchen. I also bought a rope for all 3 to play tug o war. I'm just concerned that Duncan is not going to be the loving little man I anticipated him to be. Or is this just him playing like a boy and he will calm down especially after Friday (the N word). Or will I have further issues with him being aggressive. Also Duncan is always in Cassidys mouth. licking her teeth and the inside of her mouth. Cassidy used to do this with our Akita before she passed. Is this normal and why do they do this.

Thanks,
Baxter, Cassidy and Duncan's mommy.
