Today I witnessed a dog fight. Between two Yorkies. Yep, one of the smallest cuddliest breeds out there, and they had their teeth bared, all growling and snarling.
Just two weekends ago, my dogs (ok, ok.. parents’ dogs), got in a fight as well. Both are Westies. One is about 12 years old, weighing in at 10lbs, and she was the one who started it. The second Westie is just 2 years old, and is a 25 lb monster of a terrier. I swear she’s not a real terrier. Anyways, my poor older Westie, even though she started it, got a bite on her head and ended up having it stapled to help it heal. Aww. I’m now ready to dive on them to keep them apart from each other if it ever happens again.
Is this common? Do doggie (adopted) siblings resent each other? I googled ‘my dogs want to kill each other’ but that didn’t get me anywhere. Do they need puppy therapy?
The biter/ giant Westie, hiding under a chair. Ah, a dog’s life.
