[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 595164, member: 84"] Sounds like a really good update MWM all the way around! :) I understand your concern. After Precious and then later Betsy turned aggressive...........it made me wonder if I was doing something different or if it was something wrong with them. Now with Precious, I've no doubt I probably mucked up the waters so to speak. I got her shortly after my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and frankly I wasn't "right in the head" for quite a long while. I over protected her from Molly (which wasn't necessary) and gave her mixed signals. I do not think that was all of it, though. Not by a long shot. Most of it was Precious' personality/temperament and I should've had a red flag go up when the breeder told me Precious was not up for adoption, nor was she going to breed her. She must've seen something that concerned her even as a small pup. Know what I mean?? I did promise not to breed her.....and was going to spay her.....but Nichole aided in her getting pregnant via Rowdy before I had the chance........she went into heat and vet wouldn't spay her at that point. She [B]was[/B] spayed immediately after the pups were born. Betsy was not over protected like her mother. She adored Molly until suddenly she didn't anymore.......at least when people (mainly me) were around. Precious went on to a nice home in the country.........and started a basset obsession with the people who adopted her. (they now rescue bassets to some degree......I ran across the woman we rehomed her too not long ago) Betsy......well, you know how that turned out. Precious' new owners kept her an only dog until she passed away, which was sudden and unexpected like Cleo (Betsy's sister). My guess, and vets guess, is they all 3 had the same heart defect........Cleo didn't feel bad enough to have it effect her personality, the other two most likely were just miserable enough to turn aggressive. I opted out of 2 female dogs, however, because Molly and Rowdy in all those long years never ever had an issue with each other. He was top male dog. She was top female dog. Mom was pack leader period. Everyone else fell under that, even the cats and other critters that entered the home. lol Maggie and Rufus so far appear that they will be the same way. :) [/QUOTE]
