fighting I was not sure where I should post this. I have a 2 year old female yorkie, then last Friday I got a 10 week old male chihuahua. My yorkie has never had a problem being around other dogs. When I was married we had the yorkie and a Lab, it was the cutest thing. The lab would lay down and Sadie would climb on top of him and sleep. They got along so well, no fighting. Well, back to the chihuahua for the most part they ignore each other. Then there are times they really go at it. It's always started by the Chi he will bark at Sadie and lunge at him, then Sadie goes after him. I am really afraid that one of them is going to get hurt. Is this normal behavior, if not how long should I give them to see if it settles down? |
Might I suggest that you post this in the 'Training' section? Someone might have some ideas for you. My Pommie is about twice as big as Chipper and I worry about Snowboy getting to rough with Chipper. Whenever I leave they go into ex-pens. I also make sure that our cat is not upstairs. She also could do damage to Chipper. Just wanted you to know that I understand your fear. Good luck in finding answers. ~Joanne~ |
Sounds to me like their playn. Both breeds are energetic and want what they want when they want it. In my opinion, I dont think its a agression. Sasha does the same thing to my sisters 13 yr old poodle. She wants bubbles to play, and bubbles never wants to. When bubbles tells her no, she keeps on and on till she gets bubbles to jump at her. She likes playing chase lol. If it is a serious issue maybe some behavioral traing. |
Roxie and Pixie go after each other and it sounds terrible but their tails are wagging. SO it sounds like the puppy wants to play. |
