Yes it can be a thin line there. If my guy did it with other people or my other dogs, I would take issue with it. But for him to take his toy into another room and indulge his dominance with it, for me that is a gray area. He is a well adjusted dog that takes direction and listens..totally accepts me as Alpha. So I do indulge him on this..and he has been doing it for 10 years with no change in behavior so....that is my story and I am sticking to it Rebecca lol

My female Dane does it, very rarely. But I stop it in a heartbeat. She is not the dominant dog!!! I AM. she is not allowed to put another dog in its place. That's my job as the leader!

But it is also a dominance display and can occur anytime whether they are neutered or not. It is a normal pack behavior asserting dominance. I have had males and females display this behavior and so have my friends. And no my dogs are always neutered or spayed..not the point here. > > > > >________________________________ >From: Joan Croft <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 3:44 AM >Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] questionable behavior > > > >Well, the only time that male ‘dogs’ normally do this to female ‘dogs’ is >when the female is in heat and the male has not been neutered.
