Owen is mostly the bottom of any heap, but if a b-a-l-l is involved its a different story. Plus, he does have his limits. He can take a certain amount of picking on, but then will get fed up and fight back. He's good with ALL girls, and most boys who are older, but does do a little disciplining with younger male pups.

Now, THAT is in the park. At home? The cat totally controls him. I had owen for two years before the cat came to live here. (clive was about 1.5 years old). Within a week Clive had taken over, even though I feed Owen first, and let only Owen sleep on the bed (his for 2 plus years). Clive will wait til I pour dog food then lie wrapped around Owen's bowl. Clive will lie in the doorway requiring Owen to jump over him to get in. If I don't call Owen, it will take him 30 or 40 minutes to get up the nerve to jump over. Now, when the roles are reversed, Owen will also lie in the doorway, Clive wont even wait a second and will walk ON Owen to get in the room.
