all the time lol I dont feel threatend by it though, exept when it Perky, just because I know that she WILL bite me if I dont back off, the rest can grwl all they want but they wont bite me under any cercumtances, even in fight mode, but I can also call my girls away from fight mode, if perky and Misty are at it I grab Mistys collar and someone grabs perky, as soon as they are off eachother even still in fight mode Misty knows I am alpha and does not dare bit me or even nip me, Happy only snarles at other dogs never at me, and I can always call her out of fight mode, Ripley, I just growl back and he stops lol Blair does not growl at me, he is my wittle baby, and spends most of his times curled up on my lap, pyrsheps just seem to like me lol pyrsheps that hate strangers have been known to crawl in my lap and cuddle with me dont bother me any lol it was the same with fly, a dog that was returned for biting, she was my buddy lol
