Misty is alpha dog in my house, but knows perfectly well she is under me lol Ripley is the Alpha male(equal to Misty) Perky is under Misty and Ripley, and I have noi idea what order Happy and Blair are in lol I do believe in Alpha, however not to a huge extent, it has helped us solve a major issue afterall, Happy and Misty were not getting along at all, fogered out Happy was being treated more as alpha then Misty was, changed that and all they they love eachother more then they ever have, and play together more in the first week then they ever had.
