Bio: Ben does not like Clyde..they were friends for a while but we had a problem with who took second place in the pack under Buddy...we have had to keep him separate for a few years now because he has really attacked clyde a few times.and everyone gets involved..its not an fun thing when I am home alone. ..everyone used to pick on Ben..clyde would start it..then one day ben just attacked clyde..roxy helped..it was awful.. he had a tough beginning before us and once when we tried to find him a home and the other dog was aggressive and attacked Ben...he really is very sweet.he's just insecure..who knows what he went thru before we found him. He is intimidated by Buddy (alpha) but really won't accept Bud as the king..He is very loving and afectionate to us and ha no problem with people...we thought we'd have to give him up but we worked things out with gates ..its not easy but at least we are all still together..we have a good system going I've Been On Dogster Since:
