Pack behavior with pics...

That's the key to maintaining peace--you have to be the leader of the pack over all the dogs. Nope, I wouldn't let them fight it out, regardless of their breeds. I don't let my dogs do that. They have other ways of working out their order. Fighters are seriously and quickly punished--any dog involved in a fight is punished(unless they are hurt). I don't care who started it. Fighting is not okay.

I assume they've been together since Ebony was a wee one? I think that helps too. Muskwa put Earle in his place when Earle was 7 weeks old. Earle never questioned it again. Muskwa is and always will be the boss of him!

Thank you so much! You have been a big help. Yes, they have been together since Ebony was little. Jada also put Ebony in her place when she was small. Ebony totally respects Jada. I have had no problems at all with Jada and Ebony fighting. I can read their body language real well so if they are getting to upset with each other when they are playing I make them take a time out.
Thanks again for all your input it helps a lot.

That is really cool! I can see the submissive behavior with the ears back and low heads. Kia does that belly up pose with me all the time. Especially when I'm not to happy with her.

Oddly enough though, she switches from dominant to submissive depending on the dog. She can't just pick one and stick with it, making trips to the dog park interesting..
