Dogs originally lived in packs. Dogs can be very territorial, especially terriers.
That’s where their name comes from! Bella and Bubby, both yorkies, may respect the “lead dog” in our family, but when they play it seems like that’s the only point to their games- who is the most dominant.
Bella and Bubby really seem to think its fun to play “King of the Mountain.” Of course, after they play like this for a long time they get pretty rough. Bella makes a fun,...

I found Bubby, his siblings, and his owner online at KSL.com (a local radio station’s website).

Can dogs feel a mating bond?
Bella and Bubby were originally chosen to be “mates,” although we recently sent Bubby to the vet and he emerged a new man (or better said less of a man). The drama began pre-neuter, however. Even before they matured Bella and Bubby played the alpha dog domination game. This started when Bella was six months old and Bubby was four (about three months ago).
Bubby initiated this “game,” and usually initiated every time except for a few times...
