She is only six weeks old. Great Pyrenees with colors. My male is solid white. The breeder has about three white males left and all the females are with colors. They are all sooo adorable and only 100 bucks!

ball or not. Nope, sticking to dobermans..

I'm confused, Joyce. I thought you already had two Pyr pups that "The Boys" were terrorizing, and that you needed a creep fence for them to go under into their doghouse.
You'll have to excuse me. I'm old ...............

That's such a shame about the little girl. A professional dog behaviorist would be able to stop that aggression, 'tho'. She just needs reprimanding and an attitude adjustment, and lots of work.

Had another thought, too, Joyce. Does the breeder have a clause in the contract where you can return the dog to him or her if things don'wt work out? Most reputable breeders tell buyers that these days. That would be another option, if you don't have the time and/or the funds to persue a behaviorist. Euthanasia just seems like such a drastic solution. After having to put 4 Dachshunds to sleep in the past, due to their ill health, euthing them is so "final", you know? I still cry over those four. And I have two to go at some point! One's 13 with only 25% kidney function, and the other's 12.

Sound like she has decided to be YOUR guardian
instead of the critters. You fed her when she was
starving and loved her when she was neglected.
She is doing for you what you wanted her to do
for your critters. She wants to be alpha dog.
Feed her first. Speak to her first. Pat her first.
Then take her on a lead to see the other critters.
And praise the fur off her when she behaves.
She will probably protect you with her life.
Not such a bad thing if you are the boss
and teach her, her place. :wink:

Great advice, Adie! Alway remain the Alpha Dog, Joyce. Once she gets her eyes operated on, she'll probably imrpove in her disposition, too.
