Hello:

This is my first visit to YT, I'm excited to have found your forum and hope to frequent it often in the future.

I'm in need of advice however at this time. I have a Yorkie girl whom if just over 1 1/2 yrs and recent I brought home a yorkie boy, he is just under 5 months. They get along great most of the time except for when they fight over the raw hide bones laying around, it seems they always want to same one. I've also notcied that when Mia is laying next to me if hunter trys to come up and get love she snaps at him, as to say "get away from my mommy" I've tried cuddeling them at the same time but it is a challenge. Last night I left for a few minutes and my sister was upstaris giving my nephew a bath when she heard the dogs going at it, but this time it was not just a quick snap or bark she actually got a hold of him enough to draw blood from his nose and sprain his front ankel. I know its a sprain becasue we already went to the vet this am and got x-rays. I guess my question is for those who have mioxed sex yorkies at home have you noticed any tension or jelousey between the two, if so how did you handle it? ANy suggestions as to why she is attacking him now after 3 months, or maybe she isn't, I saw her hovering over him as if she was trying to mount him, is she just aggresively in heat??? I don't know what to think.

Thanks for any advise or help you can offer.
