They can and do change their positions in the pack. Which is why the fights, to establish the hiarchy of the pack, and the aggressor will remove any that appear to be competion for him/her. |
That is so interesting.. When I'm gone I used to be so good about keeping everyone seperated but have been lax lately since I got rid of my problem girl but to be on the safe side I think I'll start being more careful again. I did almost loose one of my girls in a fight... thank God we were there to break it up.
Thankyou for you're post.
