Re: Raising sisters

Thanks, Joan. I fully agree about not living with another dog which hates them or visa versa. I placed two unrelated girls 9 years ago due to extreme mutual dislike. One attacked the other but the 2nd one had always had her head over the other's neck. I didn't know as much then. We'll wait these sisters out, some of my family think it all looks like playing as they often stop with pauses and do listen to humans in the thick of things. They just get soooo loud with vocalizing! I did watch closer today, tails are relaxed and hair is up only on the neck, not all the way down.

One played too aggressively with me yesterday, leaving bruises after she mouthed my arms as I goofed around with the pack throwing things to retrieve, etc. I think the sisters need a bit of training, most of my dogs are obedience or rally titled by this age, they both have CGC's and will start conformation next month. I just love them both, so quiet and relaxed when inside, really nice conformation. I'd hate to have to rehome one!
