I got a rescue doxie 7 years ago. After him I got another one the same size a tweenie. Two months later we got a standard doxie. After having them, six months later I took the first tweenie doxie, Rocky to the vet. I came home with him and as soon as I walk in the door, the standard doxie, Igby bit Rocky on the butt. So we went through training, a behaviorist, etc. to try to see if we could get the family back together. She said it would probably better to give one up. I wasn’t to thrilled with this at all. So thankfully, my mother in law lives next door and we split the dogs up as if we had a divorce. One spends time with us and the other spends time with grandma. Switching them out every week to visit with grandma. We’ve tried introducing them back together and was making great strides but still we had set backs. And even Igby the standard doxie had gotten in fights with our other tweenie Sparky, bu we have gotten them back together and I think this is because we reintroduced them back together right away, unlike Rocky we waited years. Should we have tried to reintroduce them right away, would this have made a difference? Do you think we will ever be able to get them back together? Thank you, Melinda
