Re(2): [pyrnet] higher in the rear?

["Ann K. Wetherilt" <wetheri@emmanuel.edu>]

Bonnie, I don't remember how old Sophie is, and others on the list
probably have more experience with this than I do, but it could be that
she's challenging Bear for the alpha position--feels confident (and big)
enough now to do that. Paddington was a very dominant puppy and we were
warned that he'd keep trying us periodically, which he surely did through
about 3 years of age. He was a year and a half when we introduced Shelley,
an adult 4 year old female into the household and he never tried anything
with her--no one did! She had been boss bitch of her kennel before she
retired as show champion/momma, and could put a rambunctious youngster in
place with a glare or slight curl of the lip. 
I don't know what to suggest to you, but if Bear is getting hurt you
probably don't want to sit back and let them work it out.
