Pugnacious Pugs

NAME: Madison and Catalina
BREED: Pugs
AGE: 6 years

ABOUT THE DOGS:
Owners Andy and Danielle Anderson got Madison and Catalina from a breeder. Catalina is six weeks older than her half-sister Madison, who has a serious case of sibling rivalry! And once they start squabbling, it is difficult to get them to stop.


ABOUT THE OWNERS:
Danielle has been a dog person her entire life. Just 28, she estimates that she's had about 30 dogs. Andrew grew up with dogs as well. Madison and Catalina are the couple's first dogs together. And though Andrew wasn't quite sure if he was ready for pets, he let Danielle talk him into it.


BEHIND THE SCENES:
This was the first shoot after the production staff returned from the holiday break and some members of the crew were not used to the agricultural smells of rural Corona, California.

HI this appears to be a bit like our dogs. We have a neopolitan mastiff (male) and two border collies (female). Things were goig fine until a few months ago when the two femail border collies started to get into really nassty fights with one another--we thought initially this was related to the fact that they both, sequentially, had puppies. But things seem not to get any better. As we are living in Mexico we can not submit this to your show--but any suggestions in terms of how to deal with this are welcome. We are both experienced dog owners and this sudden change in behavior has baffled us. We are now doing some training in order to have them accept eachother again. but it is not easy. Thanks for considering this.
