Thanks Twister,

BTW, Do all ten dogs get along together, or do certain dogs buddy up in groups? I don't think I know anyone with 10 dogs all at once. Wow.

They do all get along for the most part. Which is pretty remarkable .... especially considering that they are terriers, breeds not exactly known for their loving kindness to other dogs. LOL

I remember reading a study once (can't remember who did it) where they took large groups of dogs, like 20-30, and put them in an enclosure without human intervention, aside from basic care, to see how well different breeds did with each other. I remember that beagles took the prize, getting along fabulously with each other for the entire study. At the other end of the spectrum were fox terriers, whose study had to be discontinued after only a short time, due to the fact that they were trying to kill each other constantly. So, given that, I'd say mine get along great! LOL

They do a lot of barking, growling, posturing and humping ... but rarely is there a knock-down, drag-out fight. I do have to crate one of my Jack Russell terriers if I leave the house, because he tends to be grumpy and petty and start fights, and then inevitably he gets the worst of it.

They are all sleeping around me now. They are sweet, quiet, well-mannered dogs ... when they are asleep.
