Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with my yorkies, first let me introduce them. Lexi (female)is my first yorkie and is now 2 1/2 years old, Master of the house...or so she thinks. Then I got Ben (male) now 1 yr 3 months old, a complete love bug. Then we got Cooper (Female) now 1 yr old, very sweet and calm. the problem is that with in the last month and a half lexi has started attacking Cooper for no reason at all. Lexi has never had a problem with cooper before, even when lexi had her first litter of puppies about 6 months ago. Now for about the last month it has gotten really bad. If i go to pet cooper lexi attacks her. I take lexi for a walk then cooper next, when we get back she attacks her. If i call cooper lexi attacks her. I show each of them the same amount of attention. the only thing that has happen in the last month is cooper had her first heat and lexi when into heat too at the same time.
They are both out of heat now and are still acting the same way. I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem and how to correct it. i usually put lexi in her crate when she attacks cooper. Cooper usually just lays down very scared when lexi attacks her she does not antagonize or fight back even though she is a bigger yorkie than lexi but that is just her calm side as i mentioned earlier. I really love my girls and don't want to give either of them away. they are like my children but i can not continue to allow lexi to attack cooper. Hopefully i have given enough details here. I am hoping for some helpful advise and not criticism here please. thank you very much in advance.
